This is amaxing: THe @… have produced a beatuful set of easy to access tools for using with their satellite data products.
Some great quick start notebooks and tonnes and tonnes of lovely #EarthSytsem climate data.
(Our PISCO project will also be steadily adding stuff to this as well over the next year and a half)

🌍 The climate crisis demands urgent action. But which actions are best?
Decision makers face tough trade-offs:
Policy A lowers emissions at home but increases reliance on imports.
Policy B cuts emissions long-term but raises unemployment short-term.
Policy C boosts jobs now but increases emissions in the near term.
None of these choices are simple. A policy that looks good locally may increase global emissions, or its effects may depend on what other countries d…

Figure 1: The input space (control space, search space) is a rectangular area Y (the Cartesian product of the input intervals) and it is assumed that any solution is inside this rectangle. In general it is a hyper-rectangle in an n-dimensional control space, but here n = 2. The output space (objective space) is a collection of real numbers X = R". The black-box function f : Y —> X can be seen as n single-objective functions f_i : Y —> R. The points (a, b, . .., e) are examples of (pairs of) con…
Figure 2: The curves in the objective space here illustrate the idealised point cloud: each curve keeps y1 or y2 fixed and varies the other control continuously. The objective function measures cost (x1) and emissions (x2). The objectives each individually reach zero, but not for the same controls — there is a trade-off. The Pareto front is the set of Pareto-optimal points in objective space.

Good Morning #Canada
The Dirt on Canadian Farming now enters Day #6, and we'll hang around the east coast today.
Nova Scotia is one of the most challenging regions for agriculture as it is limited by ocean, a rocky landscape, cool and wet climate, and acidic soil. Some of those conditions are ideal for blueberries and apples, and those farms have increased recently with the rise in fresh fruit prices. Grape growing and wine production is another sector increasing and difficult to keep bottled up. Wineries are French hybrid stock suitable for the local conditions. The rest of Nova Scotia's agriculture is made up of dairy, pigs, and maple syrup. Mink production, once a sizeable portion of the province's exports, has decreased significantly since fur coats have thankfully gone out of fashion.
