Cordial but professional and regulated interactions are expected on LinkedIn.
Reddit still gives out the vibe of Wild West with potential gold. I felt ecstatic when someone was just simply nice to me there today
Happy International Day of Women and Girls in Science!
I’ll be doing science today, and I hope you will be, too. Don’t forget to encourage and support the littles - all children are born scientists.
📌 New: viewtif + viewgeom + viewinline Helper
Just launched a specialized assistant, designed to prioritize official documentation, provide executable commands, and keep answers concise and source-attributed.

Doing science feels deeply meaningful to me, but the moment I spot a possible mistake, I feel like I’m going to have a heart attack. Decades in, it never goes away. I wonder about the long-term effects on scientists’ lives…

Don’t you sometimes just want to see a .tif file?
I’ve released viewtif v0.2.7.
This version adds support for remote files (HTTP, S3), exporting to QGIS, and reading multi-variable NetCDF files, among other updates.

If I were to update my own post below:
'Research scientist hire' in the private sector/Big Tech means CS in the requirements, LLM experience as a strong preference, while physical science is no longer mentioned.
This gift wins

In practice, these terms are often used interchangeably or applied less carefully. To be explicit, people sometimes say “continental U.S. excluding Alaska” or “continental U.S. including Alaska.”
- CONUS: Typically refers to the Conterminous US or Contiguous US, also known as the Lower 48.
- Conterminous US: Synonymous with contiguous US. Conterminous is the more formal or official term.
- Contiguous US: The 48 states that are connected to each other on the continent (the Lower 48), plus the District of Columbia. This excludes Alaska, Hawaii, and U.S. territories in the Caribbean and the Pacific.
- Continental US: 49 states on the North American continent (the Lower 48 plus Alaska) and the District of Columbia, excluding Hawaii and U.S. territories in the Caribbean and the Pacific.
Once and for all, I want to clarify these words, at least for myself: #AGU25
AGU never fails to shock us with long lines
Map of water availability and water stress in South America. The map uses a bivariate color palette with dark blue indicating high water availability and demand, light blue/cyan indicating high water availability and low demand, gray showing low water availability and demand, and orange indicating low water availability with high water demand. Most of the Amazon is low water stress. Atlantic Brazil, the west coast bordering the Andes, and the pampas region have the most water stress.
Map of water availability and water demand in North America. The map uses a bivariate color palette with dark blue indicating high water availability and demand, light blue/cyan indicating high water availability and low demand, gray showing low water availability and demand, and orange indicating low water availability with high water demand. Most of the Amazon is low water stress. Mexico and the U.S. northern plains and southwest have the most water stress. The Pacific Northwest, Great Lakes region, and northeast/Atlantic regions have high demand and availability. Alaska and northern Canada have high availability and low demand, except for the Alaskan North slope with lower availability and higher demand.
Brilliant choice of bivariate color palette in this map of water stress from @wriclimate.bsky.social & ESRI.
I love how it draws attention to areas with high demand for water with saturated colors, & distinguishes low & high availability with a striking change in hue.

I just published a new installment of “A Gentle Introduction to GDAL” — Python & the Command Line.

“All her faults” is such a great feminist TV drama, also binge worthy
A bonus was seeing this note on our building door. I’m not sure if it was there before the shutdown. What are the chances that we share the same name and are still being socialised?
