I figured this out on my own! This is a manual solution. So first, you have a raster file as follows: (in my case, I downloaded it from Google Earth Engine). Those black stripes are from when the satellite that took the picture of this place (Landsat #7) broke. It broke four years after it… Continue reading Remove landsat 7 black stripes from QGIS

Blackberries
June 17 The blackberries have been ripening over the last week. I think the best is still to come: If I remember correctly, they're all completely gone by mid-July.
Finding a Syrian-Danish-American online
A long, long time ago -- 2012 to be exact! -- I read an article in the Huffington Post. It was a somewhat whiny article, I thought, and it was in response to some sort of uproar about Muslims in America happening at the time (though there have been so many uproars, I don't even… Continue reading Finding a Syrian-Danish-American online
How I got two science communication jobs
I have seen on Twitter the heart-ache for people in science communication who can't find full-time jobs with benefits. Well, I found two of them. So let me tell you how I did that. First, how did I search for job openings? I'm not very good at that, but one thing I did was to… Continue reading How I got two science communication jobs
How to break internet addiction
I have had a revelation. I have for several years believed it impossible to live in a home without Internet. However, I have to admit that my main reason for believing this is a little self-defeating. It wasn't so much that my work depended on it, or the need for looking up directions or finding… Continue reading How to break internet addiction
Ordering postage stamps online
Since I hadn't been in a store of any type for over two months, it had come to this: ordering stamps online. My stash of stamps had sadly gone very low. It was all down to bad luck. I had been to the post office in order to get stamps on multiple occasions before the… Continue reading Ordering postage stamps online
Swedish words learned from Harry Potter
I read the first Harry Potter book in Swedish. Here's all the words I was able to learn, either by context clues, or by remembering what the exact phrase in the original book was (so cool when that happened). Maybe you will recognize the scenes and the reason for these words, too: bläck -- ink… Continue reading Swedish words learned from Harry Potter
The quarantine at Alexander Abraham’s
I was reading the Chronicles of Avonlea. It's a collection of short stories by Lucy Maud Montgomery (she who wrote Anne of Green Gables). The stories are so good! One of them was about a quarantine at Alexander Abraham's. I hadn't paid attention to the title, but then, boom, halfway through, there it was ...… Continue reading The quarantine at Alexander Abraham’s
Anne of Green Gables, the match-maker
I've been re-reading a lot of the Anne of Green Gables books over the last year. In Book #6 (Anne of Ingleside), Anne is getting ready to match-make. But it's not the first time Anne has match-maked, because she then lists off all her earlier conquests: I'm really an adept. Think of all the matches… Continue reading Anne of Green Gables, the match-maker
My 2019 AGU talks
AGU is a conference held in December each year, about a week before Christmas. AGU stands for American Geophysical Union. It's more interesting than it sounds, promise! Usually it's held in San Francisco. I've been a couple of time. This past December, I had three talks at AGU. Two were invited. I felt very special.… Continue reading My 2019 AGU talks
