Observe first
Begin with the evidence, its context and the limits of what it can support.
About
Curious about the Earth. Drawn to the tools that help us see it.
I’m Omica Chow, an undergraduate student. I’m learning how observation, computation and visualisation can work together to help us understand environmental change.
Current direction
Learning through maps, code and observation.
My current interests centre on remote sensing, GIS, Earth observation and AI. I’m drawn to questions that connect what we can observe with how we represent, analyse and explain it.
I often work through those questions by making something small and concrete: a map, a visual explanation, a small piece of software or a reproducible experiment. Building helps me test an idea, notice its assumptions and understand its limits.
Antarctic Atlas brings that approach into a paper-grounded research workspace for macOS and Windows. I also contribute to tools I use: a merged performance improvement in Token Monitor, and a draft proposal for safer runtime boundaries in Knowe.

How I approach the work
How I approach the work
Make it legible
Use maps, visualisation, writing and code to reveal structure without flattening complexity.
Build to learn
Use small tools, reproducible workflows and focused experiments to test ideas and deepen understanding.
