RE: Assessing desertification on a global scale with cloud computing
Cool paper and I hope the defense went well! Sorry I did not see this until now so I could not upvote it then...

Thanks! The defense was last Saturday and it went alright! I made some initial mistakes such as the regions that could have been defined better (choosing smaller climatological regions in stead of geographical) and the Earth Engine also posed limitations, but they were impressed by the overal method and code that was used so there's that :)
Congratulations. And putting your work here gets the community closer to pure blockchain science. Peer to peer and getting rid of publishing all together. Word of advice, people will always critique and as long as you learn and grow from it, it is a win win situation!
Critique is indeed good (as long as it is constructive), and I was aware of most of it already so that's a good thing. Decentralized publishing actually sounds very interesting... Nothing reward based, but like steemit where reputation influences one's opinion on the subject... Nice food for thought ;)
Agreed Re: constructive criticism. For me there is the timestamp aspect more than the reputation.
The reason why I am less keen on the reputation as the main indicator is that there are tons of brilliant people without degrees or fancy titles that can give amazing insight into how the universe operates. If those people present something first and this is recorded on the blockchain then they get credit for it. Perhaps?
There is loads of talent out there, I mean we have a bot that detects Haiku (here is looking at you @haikubot).
Nevertheless, putting a timestamp, a bit of a credit to the IP you, or whomever created, to give credit where credit is due. Thanks again.
