What a surprise! One of my many(!) great former students, @JCLee_vickie , joined me at my keynote at @TuftsUniversity !!

I am very excited to be invited to give a keynote at @TuftsUniversity 3th annual symposium in #geotechnical engineering. I will be highlighting some of the work we do in @EOI_lab and @HIRSlab of @vtgeosciences @VT_Science on application of #Earth #Observation data and #AI for #infrastructure #resilience. @UNUINWEH

Welcome to spring 2025🎉🎉 The first weekly meeting of @EOI_lab and @HIRSlab of @vtgeosciences and @VT_Science . I wish you all a dynamic semester full of success and great papers 😜

**** NEW PAPER ALERT *** published in @EarthsFutureEiC , led by @DeltaSubsidence , we highlights the critical role of #coastal #subsidence in accelerating relative RSLR. Accurate #InSAR data processing is key to monitoring land motion and #flood risks, but #standardized workflows are #urgently needed to ensure #reliability for coastal #resilience efforts. @pietro_teatini @EOI_lab @vtgeosciences @VT_Science pub:
