📢New paper out:

"A classification framework for mapping lunar soils"

We propose a structured system to classify lunar soils for ISRU and future Moon missions — tested on the Apollo 15 deep core.

Even though I'm French, the word that comes to me is German: "Inselberg".

On organisera une visite avec @jeremyragusa.bsky.social

C'est ici que j'ai grandi et appris la géologie Joe !

Le ministère de la transition écologique a mise en ligne un atlas des paysages du #Jura avec de jolies illustrations dans la partie Diagnostique dont une section géologique. Les thématiques sont très variés. atlas-paysages.jura.developpement-durable.gouv.fr/l-atlas-r2.h... (cc @subsolum.bsky.social)

Weekend field visit to the Tourbières de Prénovel (#Jura, France) – a textbook example of how substrate permeability governs landscape patterns. Impermeable layers retain water, forming peat bogs , while permeable zones drain quickly, favoring dry forested ridges.

To get an idea of ​​the nomenclature, see this poster: zenodo.org/records/8123...

There is no picture, I think he must have eaten it

With so much weighing on the scientific community right now, I find solace in the resilience of the natural world—like these beautiful biocrusts continually holding the desert together.

An annotated photograph and diagram shows the position of ChaSTE on the Vikram lander. This is part of Figure 4 from the published paper.

Ice may be present a few centimetres below the Moon’s surface in more areas of the lunar polar regions than was previously thought due to large variations in surface temperatures, according to a study in Communications Earth & Environment. https://go.nature.com/4i89O6S 🔭 🧪

This is figure 1, which shows the identification of ferrihydrite in the Martian dust.

A study in Nature Communications attributes Mars’ distinctive red colour to ferrihydrite, a type of rust mineral. The finding suggests Mars experienced a cold and wet environment before transitioning to its current desert state. https://go.nature.com/4iiRKGV 🧪 🔭

Do you have any real differences between B and Bw, what are they? As the parent material seems to be colluvium or slope alluvium resting on a bedrock level. I would name C as 2R

If you don't have vesicular pores it's not a V.

Here is an example, of V horizon from Mongolia. Vesicular pores are clear and numerous.

When you watch Jurassic Park but have a background in structural geology😉

It's #DarwinDay. He was a father of #soilscience #pedology, by combining his knowledge of #geology and #biology, he published “The Formation of Vegetable Mould Through the Action of Worms.” In this book you can see one of the first #soilhorizon designation A,B,C.

Hello at BlueSky! We are informing on work advancing our knowledge on soils in all regions of the world and formed in different pedo-climatic zones. Looking forward to interacting with a large soil science community! Explore our webpage for more insights.

Hi Joe, sorry in fact I was in advance, it's in february. I erased the post

🌵✨ When we say biocrusts are "the coral reefs of the desert," we mean it—just look at these vibrant colors! 🟠🟡🔵🔴 They're also reef-like in their roles stabilizing soil, reducing erosion, retaining moisture, and fixing nitrogen 🌿
