Research sites in northern Alaska as depicted from kite images

Barcelona, april 2015, with @pablo

Ecuador, November 2015, with @MateoNeira @sebasvanegasb @NataCabrera @JuanSardi

China, January 2016 with @shanlter and the GreenovationHub crew, flying kite to start understanding excess sediment in water supply to rural village in Guanzxi Zhuang autonomous province

Also with @shanlter and the GHub crew Looking for helium during Chinese New Year (can you spot the PL balloon box in each photo?)

I think the very first is @bronwen's ;)

Oops, sorry!

@genawirth and The Dredge Collaborative, more here: https://publiclab.org/profile/gwirth

There are a LOT of amazing Gowanus photos of canoes in all sorts of water conditions, from frozen to milky white with the carcasses of sewage-gorging bacteria. Assuming @bronwen can find these, otherwise, i can upload!

Above: @mustafa10 demonstrating a balloon with Redstone Rig and pendulum suspension. I think this happened in Berlin. I don't know who to credit for this photo.

Awesome pictures! Kelly Taylor from @partsandcrafts sent these in, too!

When I couldn't find any free, high-resolution aerial imagery of my coral reef study site, @glennon introduced me to BAP and KAP. Since then I've used it to for mapping but also as a way to teach students in California and Indonesia about remote sensing for environmental monitoring.

Sadly, one camera drowned in the making of this orthophoto mosaic (though the SD card + photos survived :)

Coastal mapping with students in Bali, Indonesia

Map-reading isn't a universal skill. I've found that the process of shooting and then arranging aerial photos into a mosaic helps people connect their ground-based perspective with the aerial perspective of a typical map.

Boats and kites just go together

Wow gorgeous images and models!!!!
