VT Remote Sensing IGEP

Congratulations to PhD Candidate Paige Williams @paigetw_vt for being awarded as Virginia Tech's @Esri Innovation Program Student of the Year! Well deserved! 🛰️🌲🍃@GISEd

Congratulations to Dr. @snpowpow on a wonderful defense seminar today! Check out one of her recently published dissertation chapters predicting distributions of Antarctic biocrusts linked below & keep an eye out for more great work to come. @VT_Biology @rs_igep

Congratulations to Venkat Sridhar, associate professor in @bse_vt! Sridhar has been named a 2024 Jefferson Science Fellow by @theNASEM. Sridhar is one of nine U.S. faculty members selected for the highly competitive fellowship. Read more ➡️ brnw.ch/sridhar

Where do Antarctic biocrusts thrive, for now? Read more to see how we assessed habitat suitability of biocrusts using field sampling, remote sensing, and machine learning in our new publication in @Ecol_Evol. I'm really proud of this one! doi.org/10.1002/ece3.1…

Super excited to be one of the 2024 IAF Emerging Space Leaders 🚀

Thanks to Stacey Kuhar for capturing the Remote Sensing IGEP students and faculty during the VT OGIS Symposium 🛰🌎

Earlier this month, several remote sensing IGEP students presented their interdisciplinary research at the VT OGIS symposium! 🛰🌳🌊🧪

We are excited to have Dr. Maria Kavanaugh from OSU's @OSUCEOAS Seascape Ecology Lab visit us today! She is discussing ocean ecosystem responses to global change 🧪🌊

Join me in congratulating @nitheshnirmal for receiving the first prize of the graduate poster competition at the "The Virginia Tech Office for GIS and Remote Sensing Research 2024 Symposium" today. So proud of you Nithesh! @EOI_lab @rs_igep @VTLibraries @vtgeosciences @VT_Science

We are excited to have Dr. Samapriya Roy @samapriyaroy from @Maxar visit us next week - the creator of the Google Earth Engine Community Catalog! We can't wait to hear about his work and learn more about the catalog.

We are looking forward to having Dr. Greg Vaughan from the @USGS_AstroGeo visit our group and discuss his work on Yellowstone's thermal areas using remote sensing data! 🌋

Undergraduates- come work with us to study effects of sea level rise on coastal landscapes. 5 summer research internships with the coastal critical zone network including VIMS. Applications due Friday. 10 weeks / $6,000. czn.coastal.udel.edu/opportunities/

Seasonal snow patches drive productive microhabitats in the McMurdo Dry Valleys. Read more to see how we characterized biocrusts using remote sensing and field data in our new publication in Science of Remote Sensing! doi.org/10.1016/j.srs.…

We welcome Dr. Matt McCarthy today from @ORNL as our invited seminar speaker! We are excited to hear him talk marine geoscience for national security @NatSecORNL @GSHS_ORNL Our students especially appreciate the full day of networking!

Thanks to Paul Geithner @paulgeithner from @NASAGoddard for an excellent seminar today! We learned all about the @NASAWebb James Webb telescope - the world's most powerful space telescope!

Congratulations to @Sharif_Sany, a postdoctoral associate on Team @space_enabled, on being selected as an ESIP Community Fellow (@ESIPFed) and Future Earth Coasts Fellow (@fecoasts)! media.mit.edu/posts/sharif-i…

Outside of all the #AGU23 science, we spent one afternoon exploring the area. Where would a bunch of forestry dept. students want to go? To see the redwoods! Thanks to the park ranger who recommended hawk hill for the Golden Gate view.
