Last post, I mentioned that I would provide a recap of the Earth Observation Summit in Montreal, June 20-22th. I am very happy to have had the chance to both learn about up and coming earth observation technologies, as well as present my own research at the summit. Admittedly, you, dear readers, are probably more interested in hearing about my Arctic Adventures to Axel Heiberg Island (July 5th-20th), but I haven't quite sorted through my…

I'm very excited to say that next week I have the pleasure of attending the Earth Observation Summit in Montreal!  The summit is a combination of three meetings: the 38th Canadian Symposium on Remote Sensing (CSRS), the 17th Congress of the Association Québécoise de Télédétection (AQT) and the 11th Advanced SAR (ASAR) Workshop.  My main purpose in attending is for the ASAR Workshop, but I am also very keen on learning all about the cutting…

Hi, hi!For this week's update, let's return up north to Axel Heiberg Island, NU.  Recently, I've been revisiting my radar and spectral images in preparation for our upcoming field season. In July, four of us will be visiting the island to ground-truth what we've been seeing in the satellite imagery, with a specific focus on the salt diapirs I've been studying. This will help us better understand the surface texture of the diapirs, how rough they…

Hello! There has been a two-week hiatus in posts because I was at fieldschool! The Centre for Planetary Science and Exploration at Western hosts an annual/semi-annual planetary surface processes fieldschool in the southwest United States. As mentioned last post, we visited numerous sites in Arizona and Utah, where there are abundant geological and geomorphological features that shape the landscape. We tweeted extensively about the experience, and you can follow our updates and see many exciting…

Hello everyone!This week we are busy getting prepared for field school!  Western offers a Planetary Surface Processes Field School, which is a two-week tour around Arizona and Utah to get acquainted with the geomorphological processes affecting terrestrial bodies in our solar system.  What shapes the surface of planets?  Here are the main culprits:1. Tectonics2. Volcanism3. Impact cratering4. Erosion and weathering (Includes liquid, aeolian, glacial, and gravity driven processes!)Not all planets and moons have been affected…
