Mine detection using drone mounted geophysical sensors and machine learning: it seems like there is still some work to do for this to be an actual thing, but looks promising! ⚒️
(Also lots of info about mine design and distribution that make you despair for humanity)
Absolutely fascinating article by @trinamoyles.bsky.social in @cangeo.bsky.social about how declines in dall sheep in southwest Yukon might be (partly) related to increased levels of wind-blown dust following diversion of Ä’äy Chù (Slims River). 🧪⚒️🐏

The year without a summer: The Tambora eruption on April 10, 1815, released 2 million tons of debris and sulphur components into the atmosphere #histsci
The eruption played a key rol in the genesis of #Frankenstein & #TheVampyre 🧪⚒️

I have about one week until I close registration for the @nagtgeo.bsky.social Eastern Section meeting. If you're in Virginia & love this planet, this is a great low-key meeting. Please join us!

The configuration of the moraine around those bedrock knobs is some of the most fascinating geomorphology in Wisconsin.

Western drought is driving beef prices through the roof. This is just a prologue to the far more serious food-supply disruptions a hotter planet will bring

This figure should make everyone in the state of CA furious. Market rate multifamily building costs in CA are 2.5x+ Texas.
This is also, for the record, the kind of thing that drives insurance premiums through the roof. If builders pay this to build, insurers pay it to rebuild.
Screenshot of the entirety of this article from ArcNews, which begins with: Professionals need to continually learn new technology and update their skills, whether working in the geospatial technology industry, engaging in scientific research, or teaching students to prepare for careers in GIS. Society and the environment constantly evolve, new data and technologies emerge, and analytical methods get more sophisticated. But it is hard to keep up—especially for scientists and university professors who not only have teaching responsibilities but also engage in research and academic service. As scientists and university professors, the three of us have, at times, felt a gnawing panic that we might be holding students back by not teaching them the very latest in modern GIS technology and associated scientific principles. So much work goes into updating courses and labs, let alone enhancing GIS curricula. Continuous change, however, does present opportunity. If educators can anticipate where the geospatial technology industry is heading, they can prepare students for tomorrow’s innovations. The Guide to the Geographic Approach helps educators seize this opportunity. Developed collaboratively by educators and the broader GIS community, the guide is a collection of ready-to-use teaching models that bring modern GIS techniques and spatial data science into the classroom. Contemporary case studies equip learners to address real-world problems by applying spatial thinking and the latest geospatial technologies. Modules are delivered as editable ArcGIS StoryMaps stories that contain short, conceptual video lectures, technical skills training, class and lab exercises, and ethical lessons. It all aligns with the topics, skill areas, and learning outcomes emphasized in the GIS&T Body of Knowledge (a comprehensive catalog of the GIS and technology field) and the geographic information system professional (GISP) certification."

Actually tho a wide range of planets with moons have total eclipses
Here's Jupiter having three at once

As the Artemis II crew flew around the far side of the Moon, they captured key scientific observations, photographs, videos, and records documenting critical observations to help scientists on the ground understand the composition and history of the lunar surface. Near the center of the view lies Hertzsprung basin, an ancient and expansive impact feature described by the Artemis II crew as darker in overall tone compared to surrounding terrain. Crew observations highlight a striking contrast in texture: the interior of Hertzsprung appears unusually smooth, “like a paved road,” while the outer regions transition into rougher, more jagged terrain. Subtle variations in brightness and color across the basin create a patchwork of lighter and darker areas, offering clues to its complex geologic history. Surrounding regions show evidence of ejecta and crater rays, with faint brownish and gray tones radiating across the highlands. Together, these features provide a dynamic view of one of the Moon’s oldest and most intriguing basins. Credit: NASA
Echoing the iconic Earthrise photo captured by the Apollo 8 astronauts in 1968, during the lunar flyby, the Artemis II crew captured a shot of Earthset as they passed behind the Moon’s far side. It is one of many photos taken during the seven-hour lunar flyby by the Artemis II crew on the Orion spacecraft. Credit: NASA
The Earth appears to be peeking out over the horizon of the Moon,but pictured here is actually an Earthset. During an Earthset, the planet appears to sink below the lunar horizon. In this scene, a partially lit crescent Earth drops behind the Moon as seen by crew on the Orion spacecraft. The image also shows the vast canvas of the Moon’s surface with its overlapping craters and basins. Credit: NASA
I missed their uploads earlier today, but these images of the Earth peeking out over the Moon's surface are stunning. Cute, even.
More footage of #Kilauea volcano’s Episode 44 fountains (USGS video by L. Gallant). That south vent was ROARING so violently that it rattled the windows at my house several miles away!
Thank you, Tim!
Love it!
Boo!
Love it! Thanks, Peggy!
LOL! Thanks, Peggy!
Delicious!
Excellent! Thank you, Peggy!
I’m so tempted!
LOL! Thank you, Peggy!
