Sam 'The Jolly Geo' Gandhi

This plot blows my mind. You might not have noticed, but over the last 20 years we've gone from a mere handful of satellites observing the Earth to a galaxy of sensors monitoring our planet.

@mapaction @cdemacu Great work, @TheJollyGeo, Edith, and Indigo! 👏 x.com/mapaction/stat…

A MapAction team is in #Belize to support @cdemacu and local disaster managers to get a clearer overview of the situation and of needs as part of the response to ongoing & devastating #wildfires and drought. mapaction.org/mapaction-team…

Take a few seconds to appreciate this amazing animated map of @Climatologist49. It shows the changing hours of daylight throughout the year. This great piece deserves to be shared widely! Source: buff.ly/4ceueb2

@CopernicusEMS Hi Copernicus team, Sam from @mapaction here - thanks for your great work on the fires in Belize! Could you tell us how exactly your 4 AOIs (shown in red here) were derived? Are they linked to scene boundaries?

The first global mangrove assessment for @redlisteco shows over half of the world’s mangrove ecosystems are at risk of collapse. Learn why and what can be done 🧵

@acambridgediary In the geography world we tend to say 'space and time' (spatio-temporal) but this works too!

Following my recent appeal for ideas on the title for my new book. I’m pleased to announce that I’ve decided to call it ‘Time & Space’ as was suggested first by Clare Cordell on Facebook. I think it’s more evoking than my working title of ‘Ins & Outs’ and better suits the images of lockdown Cambridge that will appear in its pages. Thank you Clare - you’ll get a credit in the book and a signed copy. If you’d like to be kept up to date with it’s progress you can sign up at cambridgebooks.co.uk/cambridge-time…

@RoyalMailHelp Hello, #recycling question: are the stampbooks that your self-adhesive #stamps are attached to recyclable? Got loads to dispose of! Thanks

GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAL

@AvantiWestCoast Hello, our 18.40 train from Glasgow Central to Watford Junction has been cancelled, could you tell us why and whether we can board the 15.57 instead? Or any other alternatives? Thanks, Sam

@seatsixtyone One of my favourite pubs in Cambridge. What takes you to Cambridge today?

RAF and USAF, I should say.

In the RAF bar at the Eagle, one of Cambridge’s oldest pubs. I guess - given why I’m in Cambridge - it’d better be a pint of ‘Going Loco’.

The earthquake that struck Japan’s Noto peninsula on Monday was so strong that the coastline has moved up to 250 meters offshore due to significant land uplift.

@spatialthoughts This looks fantastic! Well done ISRO+NRSC. Is this sensor's coverage India-only or regional/global?

Never thought I would see this day! NRSC has implemented ISRO's India Space Policy 2023 and started releasing 5m resolution ResourceSat2 LISS4 imagery as open data. You can sign up and download data from NRSC's Bhoonidhi Portal bhoonidhi.nrsc.gov.in/bhoonidhi/inde… (1/n)

Thanks Martin @acambridgediary for your services to the city, we're going to miss your daily snaps! Perhaps your twitter account could loop through your 5000 posts and auto repost a day at a time?

@camcitco Hello! Great facts - when you say 'Cambridge' do you mean the area comprising the 14 electoral wards?

It's #NationalTreeWeek! Trees contribute towards: 🌳 Improved air quality 🌲 Protection from the sun by providing us with shade 🌳 Providing habitats for animals Here are some facts about tree canopy cover in the city👇

@CambridgeCornEx When's the actual event......

Following morning fatigue is showing after a typically busy and social training night but I think my message gets through - check out @mapaction! Has been great for Jolly Geo professional development 🤓 #disasterpreparedness #geospatial

@wrftr @seatsixtyone Having grown up there, not really! Harry Potter Studios is there if that's your thing, and nearby St Albans is nice

@seatsixtyone Anything worth seeing in Watford, if one went from there?

@seatsixtyone Why don't 26-30 railcards work on the sleeper?

PS. I've experience of February trips to Fort William on the sleeper, through the snow! Young Person's Railcard 'Anywhere in Britain for £20' offers ran several years in early 1980s, so off I went with some friends on the sleeper. Never forgotten!

@seatsixtyone Booked! London to Fort William (and maybe Skye?) early Feb with the girlfriend and pooch - could only afford bunks but we're going! Been on our lists for a long time, looking forward to adding to my Euro train map🚅🗺️thejollygeo.com/interrail-2023/
