LabScrum

Scrum for academic labs = LabScrum. I like it: sprints, stand-ups, etc. could make the way we operate so much more effective. Nice article in Nature: A project-management tool from the tech industry could benefit your lab.

Mercator (again)

Mercator - It's  flat, flat world is a nice immersive story map that nicely describes and illustrates the history of this map and map projection.

Snow Depth Mapping using SfM and more

Goetz and Brenning (2019): Quantifying uncertainties in snow depth mapping from structure from motion photogrammetry in an alpine area. Water Resources Research, doi: 10.1029/2019WR025251.

Filhol et al. (2019): Time-lapse Photogrammetry of Distributed Snowdepth During Snowmelt. Water Resources Research, doi: 10.1029/2018WR024530. Ground-based, oblique with 3 cameras - easy in concept, but the details are complex. They make a good point: usually we either have high-frequency time series from point measurements or sporadic spatial data from satellites, UAVs, etc. Their approach tries to bridge that gap.
