My new job at SLU is going very well. Yesterday they had goats in for goat yoga to help students de-stress during finals. I was not stressed and I got to hold a baby goat.
Also I have been accepted into SLU’s Geoinformatic and Geospatial Analytics Ph.D. program! And yesterday I registered for my first class for Fall 2026.

Introduction to Remote Sensing
“This course include fundamental knowledge on the physics of remote
sensing; photogrammetry; multispectral, hyperspectral, and thermal
imaging; RADAR; and LIDAR. Principles are reviewed in lectures, and
lab assignments cover image processing, environmental modeling, and
analysis. The course objective is to demonstrate applications of remote
sensing in environmental sciences with software training in ENVI&IDL
and SARscape.”
Very nerdy! I’m excited.
