EGU 2018 and visiting Z_GIS

Image
From 8th to 13th of April I attended European Geosciences Union General Assembly in Vienna, Austria. The EGU General Assembly 2018 is massive conference with almost 5000 oral, 11 000 poster, and 1500 PICO presentations. There were 15 000 scientists. I attended mainly hydology and data management and modelling sessions which had very interesting and cutting edge presentations. I presented "Challenges in identifying small-scale wetlands using remote sensing" in session "Water Level, Storage, Floods and Discharge from Remote Sensing and Assimilation in Hydrodynamic Models".  I also took a chance to participate in different workshops from "How to communicate science" to "Google Earth Engine" and statistics. Attending Google Earth Engine workshop EGU venue After EGU we made a short visit to Geoinformatics Department in University of Salzburg where we also had an opportunity to visit  some field sites with sensor stations. Visiting fie...

Presentation at the Annual Conference of Estonian Society of Geoinformatics

Image
On 29th of September I presented at  the Annual Conference of Estonian Society of Geoinformatics, Voore, Estonia. Estonian Geoinformatics Society (ESTGIS)  is an union that represents professionals in geographic information, cartography and other related disciplines in Estonia and it aims to  rise the geoinformatics awareness in societyand to contribute to the GI/GIS and related fields related development processes. The annual conference is a great opportunity to communicate your scientific results to the experts in the field who are not only working in academia but also in companies and governmental agencies. I was presenting my results on spatial analysis and modelling of wetlands in New Zealand. Presenting at Annual ESTGIS Conference, Estonia. Photo by Villem Voormansik

Looking for wetlands on Routeburn Track

Image
Towards the  end of my stay in New Zealand I took the opportunity to walk one of the Great Walks, the Routeburn Track, which is location in the Mount Aspiring and Fiordland National Parks, south-west of the South Island. For the whole track over the distance of 32 km which I walked in three days. The track winds through beautiful beech forest, across tussock-covered flats, over the Harris Saddle, passes subalpine shrublands, alpine tarns and bogs. Most interestingly, even here science follows on the footsteps. I met a couple from Thames, Coromandel. They were dairy farmers and these few days on the track were their only only holidays for the last year. We had a great conversation about sustainable agriculture and manure management. They had apparently even won an industry award for best effluent management and  they collaborated with scientists and an innovative company that developed a solution to reduce the smell of a manure. That was a great example of scientists, ent...
