Wrapping up Bishop’s Research Week 2025!  The week was a celebration of innovation and discovery. Congratulations to our student competition winners—your hard work and curiosity are what research is all about! Thank you to everyone who made this year unforgettable!

What is a satellite 'underfly'? 🛰️ Early in its mission life, #Landsat 9 flew directly under Landsat 8, and the two imaged Earth simultaneously. This allowed scientists to cross-calibrate the instruments, ensuring accurate and consistent data for long-term Earth observation.

I am thrilled to announce that I have started my role as an IEEE Geoscience and Remote Sensing Society YP Ambassador! I look forward to engaging more with the geoscience and remote sensing community, collaborating with fellow professionals, and contributing to the growth of this incredible field. #IEEE #GRSS

The GOLD standard is the goal of the USGS EROS CalVal Center of Excellence #Landsat Cal/Val team. Experts focus on improving the accuracy, precision, calibration, & quality of data acquired by active Landsat missions publish their findings in reports: ow.ly/GH4J50VruLS.

Geometric and radiometric calibration are the backbone of #Landsat's exceptional #DataQuality. The USGS and NASA continually monitor the geometric and radiometric performance of instruments to maintain data quality at the highest level. Learn more here: ow.ly/tnLa50VxwYq.

Big thanks to our invited speakers—research scientist Joanne White and senior scientist Lauri Korhonen—for their excellent presentations today at our seminar on forest inventory and monitoring. Tomorrow, they will act as opponents at Jaime Candelas Bielza's doctoral defense.
