Unleashing the potential of collaboration – archaeological detection in the 2...
Computers, the internet and mobile phones have changed how archaeologists work. More importantly it has changed how everybody can access, use and contribute to archaeology.
This has altered public expectations on modes of engagement and resource access. This is resulting in an increased demand for access to this data. This phenomena is not solely about archaeology and heritage but is reflected in many areas of society. Some governments have recognised that taxpayers, as funders of data, should be allowed to access and utilise this data more easily. This has underpinned the Open Data movement.
At the same time companies and institutions, like Google and NASA, started making large datasets available on the internet. Some of these organisations provided Application Programming Interface (API's) and other services so that software applications could be built around their data. Such software services made it easier for people to use this data to make new things (derive content) and in turn share these things with their communities. This produced the crowd-sourcing and citizen-science movements. Crowdsoucing is where products, ideas, or content are created by soliciting contributions from a large group of people online. The community mapping system called Open Street Map is a good example of crowdsourcing.
Other people want to be more active. Projects like Galaxy Zoo, Ancient Lives and Old Weather have helped free data trapped in books or help scientists collect and analyse data. National Geographic have sponsored a project to help detect archaeological sites in Mongolia using high spatial resolution satellite images (exploration.nationalgeographic.com/mongolia/home). With lots of people working together a big problem can turn into a small problem. These people are 'citizen scientists'.
This presentation will describe these movements in more detail and provide examples of their implications for the heritage sector. A vision will then be set out for the future of a collaborative framework for heritage management. This will be framed in the implications it has for practice, engagement, research, curation and policy. Public participation is welcomed!
The Sky is Always Falling
This document discusses principles of research ethics and integrity for managing digital research data. It emphasizes that data should be retained, accessible, secured, and have clear ownership and sharing responsibilities. It also discusses increasing deviations from excellent conduct, including research misconduct, questionable research practices, and inadequate record keeping. The document notes challenges around a lack of guidance for some researchers and cloud provider policies, and recommends focusing on ethical decision-making principles over decision trees. Throughout, it emphasizes managing data according to principles and maintaining high standards of research integrity.

Exploratory Spatial Analytics (ESA)
This document discusses the use of geographic information systems (GIS) for exploration spatial analysis (ESA) to support critical decision making in exploration workflows. It addresses:
1) The need to create GIS grids from point data to represent exploration attributes like probability of success factors. Both deterministic and geostatistical gridding methods are discussed.
2) How to create geostatistical grids that account for spatial dependence and variability to improve probability of success estimations. Key steps involve checking for non-stationarity, detecting trends, identifying outliers, and examining spatial autocorrelation.
3) The types of critical exploration data needed for GIS grids, including reservoir, trap, seal, and charge factors, as well

The presentation summarized the need for an effective Australian soil information infrastructure and the TERN Soils Facility's efforts to address this need. It discussed how the current soil information is patchwork and inadequate, limiting research and management. The TERN Soils Facility is working to develop standardized soil property data across Australia in a spatially explicit format. This will integrate with other environmental data and models to improve research quality while reducing uncertainty. Key contacts for the soils program were provided.

It outlines potential environmental impacts from deep-sea mining including effects on surface waters, throughout the water column, and on benthic habitats. The presentation emphasizes the need for baseline data collection and environmental risk assessments to inform impact assessments and management plans. It notes challenges around balancing comprehensive data collection with practical constraints. Building local scientific capacity is also highlighted as important for effective environmental oversight of deep-sea mining activities.
The painful removal of tiling artefacts in hypersprectral data
The document describes a comparison study of different methods for removing tiling artifacts from hyperspectral imaging data. Six methods were tested on four datasets, including a mouse brain sample, to determine which most effectively removed artifacts while retaining important sample information. Results were evaluated using statistical analyses and user surveys. Overall, the Linear Multiplicative and Seamless Stitching methods performed best, though the best method depended on dataset characteristics. The study highlights the need to test multiple methods on specific data.

Resolutions of Remote Sensing
1. Spatial (what area and how detailed)
2. Spectral (what colors – bands)
3. Temporal (time of day/season/year)
4. Radiometric (color depth)
Spatial Resolution describes how much
detail in a photographic image is visible to
the human eye.
The ability to "resolve," or separate, small
details is one way of describing what we
call spatial resolution.
2
Spatial resolution of images acquired by satellite sensor
systems is usually expressed in meters.
For example, we often speak of Landsat as having “30-
meter" resolution, which means that two objects, thirty
meters long or wide, sitting side by side, can be
separated (resolved) on a Landsat image.
Other sensors have lower or higher spatial resolutions.

Geothermal geophysics
This document discusses geophysical techniques used to investigate geothermal resources. It describes how geophysical data is acquired through surveys using devices like seismometers. The data is then reduced to remove noise and reveal anomalies indicating potential targets. Grids of transect data can be combined and contoured to map features. Stacking and other signal processing helps improve the clarity of geophysical signals over noise. Models are made to interpret the subsurface based on reduced data, though interpretations are non-unique. Together, geophysical, geological and other data are needed for the best interpretation.
Environmental Remote Sensing
This document provides information about the Environmental Remote Sensing course GEOG 2021. It introduces the structure and content of the course, including lectures, practical sessions, assessment, and reading materials. The course is split into two halves, with the first introducing remote sensing concepts and the second focusing on a practical example. Lectures are on Mondays and practical sessions on Thursdays. Assessment consists of an exam and a coursework write-up. Relevant reading materials and online resources are also listed.

This document proposes a petabyte environmental tape archive and library to address the growing data storage needs of researchers generating huge quantities of data from sources like weather forecasting simulations. It would provide long-term storage for important research data that is currently being deleted in many cases due to limited storage options. The proposed system would use a SpectraLogic tape library and active archive software to provide scalable, reliable storage that researchers can afford, with different storage services depending on the data access needs.
Introduction to Landsat
Landsat is a series of Earth observation satellite missions jointly managed by NASA and the U.S. Geological Survey. The first Landsat satellite was launched in 1972 and subsequent satellites were launched through 2013 to acquire global land data. Landsat satellites carry imaging sensors to collect medium-resolution multi-spectral images of the Earth's surface on a 16-day repeat cycle. The images are used to observe changes in land use, monitor deforestation, and detect water pollution among other applications. Six Landsat satellites have been launched to date, each carrying improved sensors from the Multi-Spectral Scanner to the Enhanced Thematic Mapper Plus. Landsat provides the longest continuous space-based record of Earth's surface.

Geothermal geophysics
This document discusses geophysical techniques used to investigate geothermal resources. It describes how geophysical data is acquired through surveys using devices like seismometers. The data is then reduced to remove noise and reveal anomalies indicating potential targets. Grids of transect data can be combined and contoured to map features. Stacking and other signal processing helps improve the clarity of geophysical signals over noise. Models are made to interpret the subsurface based on reduced data, though interpretations are non-unique. Together, geophysical, geological and other data are needed for the best interpretation.

This document proposes a petabyte environmental tape archive and library to address the growing data storage needs of researchers generating huge quantities of data from sources like weather forecasting simulations. It would provide long-term storage for important research data that is currently being deleted in many cases due to limited storage options. The proposed system would use a SpectraLogic tape library and active archive software to provide scalable, reliable storage that researchers can afford, with different storage services depending on the data access needs.
Introduction to Landsat
Landsat is a series of Earth observation satellite missions jointly managed by NASA and the U.S. Geological Survey. The first Landsat satellite was launched in 1972 and subsequent satellites were launched through 2013 to acquire global land data. Landsat satellites carry imaging sensors to collect medium-resolution multi-spectral images of the Earth's surface on a 16-day repeat cycle. The images are used to observe changes in land use, monitor deforestation, and detect water pollution among other applications. Six Landsat satellites have been launched to date, each carrying improved sensors from the Multi-Spectral Scanner to the Enhanced Thematic Mapper Plus. Landsat provides the longest continuous space-based record of Earth's surface.

Signatures of wave erosion in Titan’s coasts
The shorelines of Titan’s hydrocarbon seas trace flooded erosional landforms such as river valleys; however, it isunclear whether coastal erosion has subsequently altered these shorelines. Spacecraft observations and theo-retical models suggest that wind may cause waves to form on Titan’s seas, potentially driving coastal erosion,but the observational evidence of waves is indirect, and the processes affecting shoreline evolution on Titanremain unknown. No widely accepted framework exists for using shoreline morphology to quantitatively dis-cern coastal erosion mechanisms, even on Earth, where the dominant mechanisms are known. We combinelandscape evolution models with measurements of shoreline shape on Earth to characterize how differentcoastal erosion mechanisms affect shoreline morphology. Applying this framework to Titan, we find that theshorelines of Titan’s seas are most consistent with flooded landscapes that subsequently have been eroded bywaves, rather than a uniform erosional process or no coastal erosion, particularly if wave growth saturates atfetch lengths of tens of kilometers.

JAMES WEBB STUDY THE MASSIVE BLACK HOLE SEEDS
The pathway(s) to seeding the massive black holes (MBHs) that exist at the heart of galaxies in the present and distant Universe remains an unsolved problem. Here we categorise, describe and quantitatively discuss the formation pathways of both light and heavy seeds. We emphasise that the most recent computational models suggest that rather than a bimodal-like mass spectrum between light and heavy seeds with light at one end and heavy at the other that instead a continuum exists. Light seeds being more ubiquitous and the heavier seeds becoming less and less abundant due the rarer environmental conditions required for their formation. We therefore examine the different mechanisms that give rise to different seed mass spectrums. We show how and why the mechanisms that produce the heaviest seeds are also among the rarest events in the Universe and are hence extremely unlikely to be the seeds for the vast majority of the MBH population. We quantify, within the limits of the current large uncertainties in the seeding processes, the expected number densities of the seed mass spectrum. We argue that light seeds must be at least 103 to 105 times more numerous than heavy seeds to explain the MBH population as a whole. Based on our current understanding of the seed population this makes heavy seeds (Mseed > 103 M⊙) a significantly more likely pathway given that heavy seeds have an abundance pattern than is close to and likely in excess of 10−4 compared to light seeds. Finally, we examine the current state-of-the-art in numerical calculations and recent observations and plot a path forward for near-future advances in both domains.

SDSS1335+0728: The awakening of a ∼ 106M⊙ black hole⋆
Context. The early-type galaxy SDSS J133519.91+072807.4 (hereafter SDSS1335+0728), which had exhibited no prior optical variations during the preceding two decades, began showing significant nuclear variability in the Zwicky Transient Facility (ZTF) alert stream from December 2019 (as ZTF19acnskyy). This variability behaviour, coupled with the host-galaxy properties, suggests that SDSS1335+0728 hosts a ∼ 106M⊙ black hole (BH) that is currently in the process of ‘turning on’. Aims. We present a multi-wavelength photometric analysis and spectroscopic follow-up performed with the aim of better understanding the origin of the nuclear variations detected in SDSS1335+0728. Methods. We used archival photometry (from WISE, 2MASS, SDSS, GALEX, eROSITA) and spectroscopic data (from SDSS and LAMOST) to study the state of SDSS1335+0728 prior to December 2019, and new observations from Swift, SOAR/Goodman, VLT/X-shooter, and Keck/LRIS taken after its turn-on to characterise its current state. We analysed the variability of SDSS1335+0728 in the X-ray/UV/optical/mid-infrared range, modelled its spectral energy distribution prior to and after December 2019, and studied the evolution of its UV/optical spectra. Results. From our multi-wavelength photometric analysis, we find that: (a) since 2021, the UV flux (from Swift/UVOT observations) is four times brighter than the flux reported by GALEX in 2004; (b) since June 2022, the mid-infrared flux has risen more than two times, and the W1−W2 WISE colour has become redder; and (c) since February 2024, the source has begun showing X-ray emission. From our spectroscopic follow-up, we see that (i) the narrow emission line ratios are now consistent with a more energetic ionising continuum; (ii) broad emission lines are not detected; and (iii) the [OIII] line increased its flux ∼ 3.6 years after the first ZTF alert, which implies a relatively compact narrow-line-emitting region. Conclusions. We conclude that the variations observed in SDSS1335+0728 could be either explained by a ∼ 106M⊙ AGN that is just turning on or by an exotic tidal disruption event (TDE). If the former is true, SDSS1335+0728 is one of the strongest cases of an AGNobserved in the process of activating. If the latter were found to be the case, it would correspond to the longest and faintest TDE ever observed (or another class of still unknown nuclear transient). Future observations of SDSS1335+0728 are crucial to further understand its behaviour. Key words. galaxies: active– accretion, accretion discs– galaxies: individual: SDSS J133519.91+072807.4
The cost of acquiring information by natural selection
This is a short talk that I gave at the Banff International Research Station workshop on Modeling and Theory in Population Biology. The idea is to try to understand how the burden of natural selection relates to the amount of information that selection puts into the genome.
It's based on the first part of this research paper:
