@aram What was the reason? Not in the scope of the journal? Not enough general interest? I was once told by a #remotesensing journal to submit my Opinion piece to an #ecology journal because the readers of their journal already knew the issues I was pointing out, but the ecologists knew too, and I wanted to direct my words, from an ecologist, to the RS people. I have also been told a Commentary piece was not in the scope of the journal, when I was commenting on a paper in their journal. WTAF?

The geology of the ocean floor is truly spectacular — perhaps even more than land geology. Unfortunately, it's really hard to study.

A small rediscovery from my archive.
In June 2023, during Alberta’s extreme wildfire season, I created a day-by-day animation using NASA FIRMS fire-hotspot data.

The animation shows how quickly ignition points spread across the province — almost like watching the forest "breathe fire" in slow motion.
It didn’t get much attention on LinkedIn… but this feels like the right place to share it again.

If you’re into remote sensing, wildfire monitoring, or environmental analytics — this one might be interesting.

🫐 The Blueberry Map Experiment — modelling meets the mountains

In 2022, while living with my family in the Czech Republic, I built a digital map of wild blueberry hotspots in the Jizera Mountains.

At first, it looked like a fun summer project — our neighbors used the map to find the best berry spots and enjoy the landscape.
But behind it was a serious experiment: I tested species distribution modelling (SDM) methods, later adapted for wide-world rare earth element prediction.

Within this “blueberry project” I:
🔹 automated the full spatial workflow in R and QGIS,
🔹 generated geomorphons and other terrain-based predictors,
🔹 built and validated ML models,
🔹 created probability maps and tested them in the field.

✨ What started as a family hobby became a field-tested workflow for predictive geoscience.
