Seismology is the study of waves passing through a solid medium, used to study earthquakes & volcanoes. The #EarthRoverProgram uses a seismology variant to study soil, which would eliminate farmers guesswork. The costs are radically decreasing, making it available to all. #soilsmology

Promising new programme with fascinating plans to deploy #seismology to measure e.g. the volume of a peat bog, bulk density at a fine scale, connected porosity, soil texture, #SoilCarbon, and to track soil moisture..
