When you hear about #wildfires in the #Amazon its sometimes hard to truly appreciate the scale. This animation shows smoke from these record-breaking fires consuming most of the region, a disaster for both health and the environment🛰️🔥 Made with @sentinel_hub & @NOAASatellites

Having a great time at the #UKEO2024 conference in York. I had the opportunity to present work from my PhD, where we looked into the barriers and pathways to implementing satellite data into air quality regulation. Link to study: doi.org/10.1016/j.envsci.202…

Yesterday I passed my PhD Viva with minor corrections! 3.5 years of work and 3.5 hours of viva later 🥂 Massive thanks to my supervisors @JoshVandeHey, Emma Ferranti, Roger Timmis and @DrHarjSembhi for all the support, and I'm excited to continue working together!

#Glastonbury festival has begun! It attracts over 200,000 people, making it easy to spot from space! 🛰️ Observations from @planet via @SpaceParkLeic @glastonbury @bbcglasto @GlastoLive

Forever amazed at the quantity and quality of satellite data that's available, free of charge. Below is a series of animations I made showing key climate and atmospheric variables observed from various satellites @tropomi @ESA_EO @NASAEarth @NASA @NCEOscience @SpaceParkLeic

Well worth the excursion to a random field in Leicestershire with the camera 😯 #Auroraborealis #NorthernLightsuk

The "Door to hell", a gas-filled pit that's been burning for 50 years, as seen by #Sentinel2 using a SWIR overlay to identify active burning 🔥🛰️ Processed with @sentinel_hub using a modified version of @Pierre_Markuse script, data from @CopernicusEU @ESA_EO
In 1971, engineers from the Soviet Union ignited a fire in a gas-filled hole in the Turkmenistan desert. Anticipating that the flames would extinguish within days, they were surprised when the fire continued to burn. Now, 52 years later, this site, known as “The Door to Hell,” is still ablaze.

Every winter, the Po Valley in Northern Italy experiences poor #AirQuality as temperature inversions trap pollutants against the mountains, such as Nitrogen Dioxide shown here. @tropomi @CopernicusEU @ESA_EO

Relieved to see the #flooding from new years day has retreated around my office at @SpaceParkLeic and the neighbouring Ellis Meadows, though it was nice to have a brief lakeside view 🚣‍♂️ Data from @planet's high resolution SuperDove satellites, for 26th Dec - 1st Jan - 9th Jan.

My entry for the @SpaceParkLeic & @NCEOscience Earth image competition to celebrate #COP28, presenting annually averaged NO2 from Sentiel-5P. Tackling our emissions is not only essential to limit global warming, but for the health and wellbeing of society. Enter your own below!
Do you work with EO data? This could be the competition for you. In collaboration with @NCEOscience, "Earth in Focus: Our World from Space" aims to highlight the crucial role satellites play in monitoring and addressing climate change 🌎 🛰 #COP28 👉 space-park.co.uk/2023/11/ear…

We engaged two groups of experts; (A) satellite operators, researchers and air quality scientists, and (B) potential end users, regulatory bodies, local authorities and air quality consultancies, to determine barriers and identify routes to satellite utilisation.

Excited to share that our study "Investigating the barriers and pathways to implementing satellite data into air quality monitoring, regulation and policy design in the UK" has been published in Environmental Science & Policy! doi.org/10.1016/j.envsci.202…

Dramatic view from #Sentinel3 today as a huge #SaharanDust plume travels across western #Europe, likely to make its way over the #UK in the coming days🛰️ Made with @sentinel_hub & @CopernicusEU

Version 2 of yesterdays graphic. Thank you all for the great suggestions! @betsy_farris @DGoldbergAQ @simon_sat @DrRParker
Another day of avoiding broken code == another day procrastinating by making thesis graphics. This is an overview of some of the key atmospheric composition satellites, their operational periods and their spatial resolutions, for past, present and future satellites🛰️
