Countdown to CHOW 2025 is on! From the NOAA Fish Fry to the Ocean Awards Reception, we'll see you in D.C. next week! The Lynker team is proud to support ocean health every day -- from maintaining the world’s largest maritime observing network to advancing fisheries science and coastal management. #CHOW2025 #OceanWeek #OceanObservation #CoastalResilience #FisheriesScience #MarineDebris

NOAA forecasts an above-normal 2025 Atlantic Hurricane Season — with 13–19 named storms, up to 10 hurricanes, and 5 major storms expected. https://lnkd.in/gQDm4_Mw At Lynker, we’re proud to stand behind NOAA — delivering real-time science and operational support at the National Centers for Environmental Prediction, including the National Hurricane Center and Environmental Modeling Center. Our scientists helped lead the development of NOAA’s new Hurricane Analysis and Forecast System, delivering improved storm accuracy, increasing hurricane lead time, and providing global protection for U.S. coastlines and Navy assets. From powering flood visualizations at the National Water Center, to sustaining mission-critical NWS data networks, to supporting 140+ staff at NOAA’s Office for Coastal Management, we help protect lives, property, and coastlines nationwide. And yes — our COO and SVP, Rear Admiral Michael J. Silah, NOAA (Ret.) flew into Hurricane Katrina’s eye. At Lynker, we don’t just support the mission — we’ve lived it. We’re ready for the season ahead. #NOAA #TeamLynker #HurricaneSeason2025 #NWS #HAFS #DisasterPreparedness #WeatherReady #ClimateResilience #Hydrology #CoastalProtection #NationalWaterCenter #OCM #NCEP

Today, May 26, Lynker honors and remembers those who made the ultimate sacrifice. May this day remind us of the freedom and peace they selflessly protected.

Headed to the 2025 TVC Summit in Oak Ridge, TN, May 29–30? So are we! Meet the Lynker team on-site — Founder & CEO Joe Linza, President Scott Rayder, and Business Growth & Strategy Director Butch Morrow — and let’s talk about how our expertise in AI, science, research, and space can support your mission. Looking to connect? Reach out to Butch at [email protected] to set up a time. Let’s explore what we can build together.

Day 2 at the AMS Washington Forum & Summer Community Meeting did not disappoint! Lynker Consultant Steve Woll joined the panel on Open Data vs Data for Profit—a timely and important conversation. Great connections and thoughtful discussions. Onward to Day 3! Tim McClung Steve Woll Kathy O'Day   #AMS2025 #OpenData #ClimateEnterprise #WeatherForecasting #ClimatePolicy #WeatherPredictions 

The Lynker Team is live at the 2025 AMS Washington Forum & Summer Community Meeting in DC! We’re diving deep into the latest discussions on weather, water, and climate policy. Looking forward to an engaging week!

Kudos to Lynker's Geospatial Analyst, Joan Herrmann for co-authoring two impactful publications on bathymetric mapping techniques, enhancing our work at Lynker and supporting NOAA’s Sea Level Rise Viewer! Joan's research deepens our understanding of topo-bathy grids, including those derived using ICESat-2 data, our ability to model coastal vulnerability, and stay ahead of emerging remote sensing methods.

🌊 From Research to Real-World Impact 🌊 Big kudos to Lynker's Liana Heberer for her invaluable work on benthic habitat mapping in Hawaii—now featured in the newly released USGS Data Series where Liana is first author! Liana's work, spanning from grad school to NOAA collaborations, provides coastal managers with essential tools for lasting impacts in habitat conservation and resilience. This resource isn’t just data—it’s a blueprint for smarter decision-making with contributions from NOAA NCCOS and the Hawaii Division of Aquatic Resources.

What do wetlands and machine learning have in common? Ask Lynker’s Ecological and Remote Sensing Lead, Marinus Boon. At the SWS Rocky Mountain Chapter Annual Meeting in Denver, he shared how we’re using AI + remote sensing to map Colorado’s wetlands in high resolution—and even track beaver activity across a decade! Because better maps mean smarter conservation. #Wetlands #MachineLearning #RemoteSensing #SWS2025 #ColoradoConservation #BeaverData #WetlandScience
