#Fiji is more than just #BeachIslands. It's also #Highlands. Exactly a year ago, I began a #13days #GeoScience #trek through the #mountains of #Nadarivatu and #Ba starting at the #headwaters to study #rivers and #rocks. I worked with #villages and @ItaukeiAffairs @UNDP_Pacific

Work and studies have gotten particularly these past years… It can be good to take a few days away from work to do your own projects. This was a mini carpentry project I did over a couple days recently to protect our storage from condensation and mold. 🪵🪓 🪚🔨🪛🪜⚒️

@spc_cps Our scientific poster from #IGARSS2025 on the Mineral Resources Extraction Detection (MRED) Tool: an application of #DigitalEarthPacific.

SPC's DE Pacific team won 3rd place in the EO4SDG Mini-projects and the Earth at Risk image contest organised by the #IEEE Geoscience nd Remote Sensing Society by presenting a poster on the Mineral Resources Extraction Detection (MRED) Tool. Read more: bit.ly/473Z2fw

The @DEarthPacific is using LiDAR-trained deep-learning on Sentinel-2 to detect vegetation height/cover up to 30m height, 10m/pixel, scalable across all PICTS, for change monitoring, and unprecedented deforestation tracking, above-ground biomass, habitat/restoration planning.

Want to know more about the MACBLUE GIS Workshop? Hear from the participants who were out in the field & onsite during the workshop, which brought together participants from across Fiji for a week of hands-on training in mapping seagrass and mangrove ecosystems. #DEPacific

Big thanks @nicholasmetherall for the love and support🙌 Super cool to see #QField, #QFieldCloud & #QGIS helping out in the field like this! #Opensource only works because of awesome folks like you — if you use these tools, consider giving back too 💚 👉 github.com/sponsors/openg…

Working with communities and government partners in collecting GPS field data, we deeply appreciate and depend upon free and open-source software (@QFieldForQGIS @QFieldCloud @qgis) 🌏 I just sponsored opengisch. Go sponsor your open source dependencies! github.com/sponsors/openg…

Upcoming #riparian #vegetation and #fluvial #geomorphology field survey coming up this October. Will be documenting the four day Fiji highland rivers trek for #ForestInventories, #biodiversity and #erosion #RiskAssessments and sharing results with villages. Raica na veikau🌳⛰️

Poison Ivy League : youtube.com/watch?v=LmSTwI…

Sharing research results including #landcover, #deforestation and #mining maps and posters with communities who helped build them in Votua Village in Ba, Fiji. These posters and resources will be used by the village community for land use and #NaturalResourceManagement planning.
