This is such an awesome competition using our data! We have ~130 entrants so far, we're up to a dice score of 0.7 out of 1 - really hope some of y'all out there in the #MachineLearning space interested in #kelp want to hop on this! Should be fun!
Kelp, we need somebody! 🌿Dive into our new #datachallenge sponsored by @MathWorks - "Kelp Wanted: Segmenting Kelp Forests"! 🤿
Help scientists map and monitor these vital ecosystems using #Landsat imagery.

Come today to hear @isrosenthal defend his PhD in #kelp, #citizenscience/#communityscience, #STEMeducation , & #urbanization today using
our platform! Isaac has been the @NASAEarth funded grad student on the project. If you're interested, zoom info in the flier! @the_zooniverse
So, as many of you know, Floating Forests is an outgrowth of work at the @LterSbc - and now we are delighted that the Georgia Coastal @USLTER has their own zooniverse project running #Marsh Explorer! Check it out! zooniverse.org/projects/mars… #MarshLife #LTER
Floating Forests Comes to the Classroom! blog.floatingforests.org/202…
We at Floating Forests are so excited for #BlackinMarineScienceWeek - go follow their content and amazing hashtags now, and definitely give @BlackinMarSci a follow!

Note - our dev @HeyChelseaTroy has filed custserv reqs for some time, but no response on this!
Question for @USGSLandsat - with @the_zooniverse we are demoing our Landsat -> citizen science pipeline at AGU, but v 1.3 of the ESPA API says it can’t find data from a call that previously worked & v 1.5 of the API sends an inaccurate error message. Help! @NASA_Landsat

This is so cool. You can clearly see the growth of Floating Forests through time since our relaunch. But you can also see the big uptick we've been getting since Covid. Rock on you #citizenscience folk who are taking this time to hang out with some remote sensing #kelp imagery!

Today from from 1-3 p.m. EST (10 am to noon. PST, 20:00-22:00 UTC) our own @jebyrnes will be on @reddit_AMA at reddit.com/r/askscience/ as part of the @DoNASAScience team to talk #citizenscience and #kelp! (He might even stream some classifying on twitch....standby....)

Fantastic to see this paper on the Future of Blue Carbon science published in @NatureComms - a very enjoyable collaborative experience and important road map for understanding natural carbon storage in marine/coastal systems. 👍🌱🦀💻☀️🌊🌎🤛
Our new paper: The Future of Blue Carbon Science
The world's most cited authors in #bluecarbon give their opinions on what's next for this vibrant research field

One of the best examples of a #statsmeme I've ever seen.
Do you work with #Landsat data and want to use it to create an online citizen science project? Please tweet back or contact @jebyrnes directly! We're looking for scientists who want to leverage the power of #citizenscience to try out our new interface! @USGSLandsat @NASA_Landsat
Oh, we'll put this up on Talk - respond there, too! zooniverse.org/projects/zoon…
Curious, how many of you Floating Forests citizen scientists are also #SCUBA divers? #citizenscience
