I've been rebuilding the interactive map isspix.com/ISSImagesMap... & came across this snowy gem-of-a-pic: N is down, taken 5 Jan 2013 by probably CSA astronaut Commander #ChrisHadfield on-station on the #InternationalSpaceStation. The 400-mm high-res is available via the orange pin on Kamchatka

🧊🛰️ While this animation maybe boring, it is not . This is a view of a ~60km #iceberg and it stands still in one of parts of the world with most intense winds and currents yet no major motion nor rotation is apparent. In icebergs the visible part is just a minor fraction of the total mass, it's huge!

#HowIUsedGISToday I used a simple choropleth map of GNI pc on a GIS map to allow pupils to explore how changing the class intervals changes the story. Maps are inherently value-laden. The cartographic choices we make influence the stories we tell. Let's tell worthy stories.

Our wonderful planet, seen by @eumetsat.bsky.social's #MTG satellite. I'll never get tired of views like this. Can you see the thunderstorm clouds bubbling up just ahead of the sunset?

Q for people who use Web of Science a lot: I performed a search with 7,172 results and want to export the results to Excel. Unfortunately, it looks like I can only export 1,000 at a time. Do I really need to export 8 files and combine them, or is there a way to get around this limit? Thanks!

A #map of maps. I decided I needed a better way of cataloguing all the maps I've made in my day job. I created a script to go through my entire projects folder, extract the extent of every map, and add it to a dataset with with its filename and a link to its location. There's almost 500 of them!

An eye-opening & insightful read: A City On Mars raises very good thoughts & points re settling off-Earth. Written with depth & humour (great last line on pg 390 mentioning @philplait.bsky.social!). Nice writing by @weinersmith.bsky.social & @zachweinersmith.bsky.social. #TwoThumbsUp

🧪🛰️🌊 This afternoon and at 53 S , the mud flats of San Sebastian Bay in Tierra del Fuego constitute the southernmost dust source in the world. While small compared to other sources farther north, its location is such that dust from here can easily reach Antarctica #biogeochemycles #highlatitudedust
