Hi Planet community!

Glad to be part of this community and looking forward to make new connections and learn from the recent developments. 

• I am a postdoc researcher based in Trento (Italy) 
• I wish to travel to Canada!
• I exploit the Planet data for aquatic application like retrieving water quality and bathymetric information and have already published several papers.
• I am expecting this platform as an opportunity for exchanging ideas and keeping track of new data release and recent developments.

I am presently living in snowy Sweden!

Currently Nepal is at the top of my bucket list.

As a student studying Disaster Risk Management and Climate Change Adaptation, I love the access Planet gives me to assessing these pertinent issues from afar and through time. But also, just to see some incredibly detailed imagery of some stunning locations this world is home to. 

I would love to connect with anyone conducting research using Planet’s products, I think there have been some super amazing outputs from people using this data!

1. Aggieland - College Station, TX
2. Prague 
3. Asset Management of Civil Infrastructures
4. Get to know fellow planet data users and be a part of a community

Hi Planet community,

It’s nice to meet everyone! Here goes:

1. Huntsville, Alabama, USA
2. I’d love to visit Gabon again! It’s also one of the most cloudy tropical forested countries and difficult to get decent imagery of. 
3. I’ve been using Planet data since 2017ish, largely in the framework of the land cover monitoring research that I work on.
4. I hope to interact with other researchers using Planet data, and to discover new tricks and interesting use cases for the applications of Planet data.

Hello from Central Maryland! 

Though I wish I could travel everywhere, presently my top destination is Israel, because of it’s rich biblical history and blossoming landscape. 

Currently I’m using Planet’s imagery to track construction projects local and global; from Nusantara, (Indonesia’s planned capital), to the new administrative capital of Egypt. Also of interest to me is the ever-shrinking Aral sea and drought observation of the Mississippi River.

Here on this shockingly new forum, I look forward to learning more about this service and it’s future as a satellite imaging provider. By far this is the coolest platform I’ve been able to use, and it’s ease of access is great. Someday, maybe soon, we’ll be able to access an even higher resolution at a much faster rate.

Hello all! I’m Sebastian :)

1. I’m a software engineer in the United Kingdom
2. I’d like to visit San Pedro de Atacama, Chile - to explore the wondrous geology and stargaze in the clear skies
3. Personal exploration of Dove’s RGB+NIR datasets, mostly for ecosystem analysis. Also, a frequency of 1-day vs 8-days might provide some interesting differentials.
4. I’m here just to see what other people are getting involved with and help out if I can.

@Sebastian Wallace Welcome to the community! 

Hey everyone! I’m Alexandre (also go by Alex)

1. I am currently in Berkeley, California but I am originally from Haiti!
2. I’d love to travel to several countries in Africa, such as Ghana, Senegal, and Rwanda!
3. I am using Planet’s products in my research, looking at the spatiotemporal evolution of mangrove forests in Haiti and the Caribbean.
4. Would love to get in touch with others here to learn and share tips, and tricks and discuss research related to coastal wetlands and climate change adaptation!

@Alexandre Georges Hi Alex, welcome to the community we are working on a few common subject areas.

Hi Planeteers ! I’m Maaz !

1. Where are you on this Planet?

→ I live between Brussels (Belgium) and Geneva (Switzerland), but i’m originally from Paris (France) !

1. What is a place you wish to travel to?

→ Return to the arctic ! The wilderness and adventures far up north !

1. How do you hope to use Planet’s products?

→ For the moment I use them for Education & Research, however I also have worked in different international organizations, and i would love to use them (again) for humanitarian actions.

1. What is something you you hope to gain from this Community platform?

Meet other Planeteers and seek help when I’m stuck doing a mosaic ! 

Glad to meet you all !!!

Hi folks.

1. Where are you on the planet?
   • GIS Specialist at The James Hutton Institute in Aberdeen, Scotland.
2.  What is a place you wish to travel to?
   • Anywhere I haven’t been! Would love to visit Iceland someday. It looks amazing.
3. How do you hope to use Planet’s products?
   • Part of my role is to support research across a number of domains centred around land use. To this end I hope to support other researchers in using Planet data to pursue research questions around topics including land use change, peatland restoration, and woodland expansion.
4. What is something you hope to gain from this Community platform?
   • To touch base with other Planeteers.
   • To learn some tips and tricks around best practice.
   • To learn how to use the various ways Planet offers to work with their data (alongside resources in Planet University).
   • To ask a lot of very silly questions I should probably already know the answer to… 
   • To hopefully be able to help out others along the way.

Extremely happy to meet and talk with Planet people at EGU. Great people with clear ideas on how to develop and move your research to the next step.

Hey all Planeteers,

I am Ovidiu, I am currently in Pennsylvania, USA, and I am educator. Traveling is something I like to do as much as possible, but so far I have never made it to the Arctic Circle, or to the Equator, so they are top on my list.

My plan is to learn more about the Planet products so I can incorporate them in my classes, and the student research projects. From this community forum, I would like to learn more about the possible usage of Planet products.

See you around the forum,

Ovidiu
