I'm excited to announce that we've published the first-ever public-available 30-meter crop yield maps for the U.S., using Landsat data and a new scale transfer framework. You can explore the details in our newly released paper in #RSE (sciencedirect.com/science/articl…) @FoodSecurity_SU

Thank you @HamidAwolYimer I learned so much about Prof. @ElleniZeleke that I didn’t know before. She was truly a phenomenal and inspiring person! ነፍስ ይማር 🕯️

We've posted a new version of our working paper "Using satellite imagery to monitor remote rural economies at high frequency". We track economic activity by measuring attendance in open-air marketplaces with near-daily imagery. Three key takeaways: arxiv.org/pdf/2407.12953

New review paper w/ @DrSallyET, Xue Feng, and Todd Dawson is out in PCE! We look at the last 50 years to see how ecohydrology & ecophysiology developed as separate fields, the resulting struggles, & how we can work together to solve new challenges doi.org/10.1111/pce.14…

How do global land cover maps compare? How do we choose one? We evaluated cropland accuracy of 11 maps in 8 African countries & found low consensus (<0.5% cropland agreement). Low performance across all maps highlights the need for improved #ML methods. nature.com/articles/s4159…


🚨 Our paper ‘HarvestNet: A Dataset for Detecting Smallholder Farming Activity Using Harvest Piles and Remote Sensing’ is now officially published 🥳 ojs.aaai.org/index.php/AAAI…

Absolutely humbled to be part of this incredible team that not only turned my idea into reality but persevered through unprecedented personal challenges. 🙌🏾 So proud of each one of you! 🥺 👉🏾 Check us out Friday at 3:45pm #AAAI|24 #AIForGood

Cool new paper from Ashvath Kunadi - first of a few to come about interception processes - which I'm stoked to share... agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1029/20…
