Some work I’ve been doing recently has involved putting together a webmap using the Leaflet library. I’ve been very impressed with how Leaflet works, and the range of plugins available for it. leaflet-choropleth is an extension for Leaflet that allows easy generation of choropleth maps in Leaflet. The docs for this module are pretty good, […]
A user of Py6S recently contacted me to ask if it was possible to get an output of Rayleigh reflectance from Py6S. Unfortunately this email wasn’t sent to the Py6s Google Group, so I thought I’d write a blog post explaining how to do this, and showing a few outputs (reminder: please post Py6S questions […]
I’ve been doing a bit of freelancing ‘on the side’ for a while – but now I’ve made it official: I am available for freelance work. Please look at my new website or contact me if you’re interested in what I can do for you, or carry on reading for more details. Since I stopped […]
Just a quick reminder that you’ve only got until next Tuesday to bid for a day’s work from me – so get bidding here. The full details and rules are available in my previous post, but basically I’ll do a day’s work for the highest bidder in this auction – working on coding, data science, […]
Summary: I will do a day’s work for the highest bidder in this auction. This could mean you get a day’s work from me very cheaply. Please read all of this post carefully, and then submit your bid here before 5th Feb. This experiment is based very heavily on David MacIver’s experiment in auctioning off […]

A while back a friend on Twitter pointed me towards a question on the GIS StackExchange site about the 6S model, asking if "that was the thing you wrote". I didn’t write the 6S model (Eric Vermote and colleagues did that), but I did write a fairly well-used Python interface to the 6S model, so […]
Last week I attended PyCon UK 2018 in Cardiff, and had a great time. I’m going to write a few posts about this conference – and this first one is focused on my talk. I spoke in the ‘PyData’ track, with a talk entitled XArray: the power of pandas for multidimensional arrays. PyCon UK always do […]
Back in 2012, I wrote the following editorial for SENSED, the magazine of the Remote Sensing and Photogrammetry Society. I found it recently while looking through back issues, and thought it deserved a wider audience, as it is still very relevant. I’ve made a few updates to the text, but it is mostly as published. […]
I’ve posted before about the cloud frequency map that I created using Google Earth Engine. This post is just a quick update to mention a couple of changes. Firstly, I’ve produced some nice pretty maps of the data from 2017 over Europe and the UK respectively. I posted the Europe one to the DataIsBeautiful subreddit […]
