March and April were successful months in publishing outcomes of the project. Three papers on watershed management and nutrient modelling were published:

Uuemaa, E.; Palliser, C.; Hughes, A. Tanner, C.(2018). Effectiveness of a Natural Headwater Wetland for Reducing Agricultural Nitrogen Loads. Water, 10 (3), 1−17.w10030287.

Pärn, J.; Henine, H.; Kasak, K.; Kauer, K.; Sohar, K.; Tournebize, J.; Uuemaa, E.; Välik, K.; Mander, Ü.; (2018). Nitrogen and phosphorus discharge from small agricultural catchments predicted from land use and hydroclimate. Land Use Policy, 75, 260−268.10.1016/j.landusepol.2018.03.048.

Uuemaa, E.; Hughes, O. A.; Tanner, C. C.; (2018). Identifying Feasible Locations for Wetland Creation or Restoration in Catchments by Suitability Modelling Using Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) Digital Elevation Model (DEM). Water, 10 (4), 1−15.w10040464.

In addition, one paper on hydrogeological data management:

Kmoch, A.; Uuemaa, E.; Klug, H.; Cameron, S. G.; (2018). Enhancing Location-Related Hydrogeological Knowledge. ISPRS International Journal of Geo-Information, 7 (132, 4).10.3390/ijgi7040132.

EGU 2018 and visiting Z_GIS

April 23, 2018

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...

Looking for wetlands on Routeburn Track

April 25, 2017

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...

GIS day

November 16, 2017

GIS Day is playing a powerful role in creating geographic awareness everywhere in the world. More than 80 countries are participating in holding local events such as corporate open houses, hands-on workshops, community expos, school assemblies, and more. Since 1999 GIS Day has been celebrated in Estonia. There are many interesting events organized on the day: conference, teachers computer lab with GIS courses, exhibition of companies and GIS related institutions, map contest, sightseeings to exhibitions by National Library of Estonia etc. This year I made presentation on the conference on topic "Mapping and modelling wetlands with GIS" GIS Day is a good opportunity to show the usability and usefulness of GIS science to the public and especially to high school students and teachers.
