Congratulations to the lab's most recent Graduate, Ms. Madeline Melichar . Ms. Melichar developed a Machine Learning Model to classify multitemporal Landsat OLI-8 images and a host of open access and ancillary data to create the first-ever US-Mexico transboundary consistent Land cover map aimed at habitat quality, change, and vegetation dynamics. Her work will be published soon.
Ms. Melichar joined the lab as an undergraduate student and was always interested in big geospatial data science, Drones, and Remote sensing. She won the College of Engineering Outstanding undergrad student, First prize for her poster at the UA RISES Symposium.
Congrats Madeline-

Terra and Aqua era coming to an end.
While both platforms have served humanity for more than 2 decades, every good thing must come to an end at some point.
NASA HQ has (not formally yet) announced both platforms will be decommissioned by sometime in summer 2023. Many scientists and data users are trying to convince NASA to stay both missions for some more time (originally planned for '24-'26) as they are still working just fine, but cost ($93M/year) may prove too prohibitive for these aging missions. You can also do your part too and reach out to NASA HQ and say "Please keep them alive for some more time"

The Arid Land Phenomics Institute, University of Arizona Maricopa Agricultural Center and NSF are organizing a workshop at Maricopa Ag. Center about "Field Based High Throughput Phenotyping [HTP]. March 12-15, 2018".
More info at https://www.regonline.com/HTP2018_March
See Agenda at http://desert-phenomics.arizona.edu/agenda
This is an NSF-funded, four-day, hands-on training workshop and is being offered to provide opportunities for participants to acquire a foundation in principles of Field Based High Throughput Phenotyping. Instructors from USDA-ARS, University of Arizona, and more will provide participants comprehensive exposure to field phenomics in action.
There are no fees, but participants are responsible for travel and accommodation costs.
