Öffentlicher Abendvortrag im Planetarium Potsdam (auf Deutsch). Wie aus Sonnenlicht, durchsichtigem Trockeneis und dunklem Staub jedes Frühjahr Kohlendioxid-Geysire am Südpol des Mars entstehen, wie sie über Jahrtausende die „geologischen Spinnen“ in den Boden graben, und wie über 40 000 Freiwillige im Citizen-Science-Projekt Planet Four die Spuren dieser Geysire kartiert haben. Mit dem, was wir noch nicht wissen: Noch nie wurde ein Geysir beim Ausbruch beobachtet.

Citizen Science on Mars — and the Surface Coverage of Dark Regolith on the Seasonal South Polar Ice Cap

presentation
planet-four

Planetary seminar at FU Berlin. Citizen science on Mars with Planet Four, the surface coverage of dark CO₂-jet deposits on the seasonal south-polar cap, and a cautionary tale on heterogeneous datasets — how an apparent inter-annual trend turned out to be a sampling artefact, and what a properly matched-ROI analysis reveals instead.

How to live peacefully with Ana/Mini/Conda

OpenPlanetary Virtual Conference
conda
python

I will explain the basic principles of the conda-based toolset, recommend best practices for using conda environments and channels, and demonstrate techniques on how to efficiently delete and reinstall everything in under 5 minutes. I also will discuss Python software package discovery and installation strategies in relation to these conda environments and how to efficiently develop your own libraries while being part of a conda environment.
