1+ day, 17+ hour ago   (407+ words) China unveiled geological mapping and mineral exploration systems powered by artificial intelligence technologies on Friday, marking a shift from decades of expert-driven fieldwork to more accurate, comprehensive and efficient data — and algorithm-based predictions. The two systems — AI-GeoMapping and AI-OreSeeking — were…...

1+ week, 1+ day ago   (433+ words) Weak alluvial soils are difficult to delineate where penetration-test data are sparse and stiffness varies rapidly with depth. This study presents a novel goal-attainment-optimised machine learning framework that combines multichannel analysis of surface waves (MASW) with anchor-based standard penetration test…...

1+ week, 5+ day ago   (374+ words) Deep beneath Earth’s surface, at a depth of nearly 2,900 kilometers, the mantle gives way to the liquid outer core. The dynamics of these extreme depths influence tectonic plate movements and contribute to earthquakes and volcanic eruptions. Yet directly studying these…...

3+ week, 20+ hour ago   (501+ words) Rock cohesion (c) and angle of internal friction (φ) are core parameters for rock mass stability analysis and engineering design; however, traditional triaxial tests are costly and time-consuming, limiting their availability in preliminary engineering assessments. To address this limitation, this study…...

3+ week, 2+ day ago   (70+ words) The 2025 ISSM Workshop took place at Dartmouth, in Hanover, New Hampshire, USA, March 19th to 21st, 2025. The workshop was sponsored by Dartmouth’s Changing Polar Regions Academic cluster, and NASA’s Earth Surface and Interior, Cryosphere and Sea Level Change Team Programs. The world's…...

1+ mon, 1+ week ago   (748+ words) Researchers at De Montfort University Leicester (DMU) have developed a new artificial intelligence framework that not only predicts how easily fluids can move through underground rock, but also indicates the reliability of each prediction. Led by Dr Ahmad Lawal, Lecturer…...

1+ mon, 1+ week ago   (425+ words) A slow grassland burn gave off enough infrasound for sensors to follow its spread Researchers tracked this prescribed fire in Idaho using acoustic sensors. It’s not just eyes on a fire — it’s now ears, too. A low-intensity grassland fire “hums…...

1+ mon, 3+ week ago   (651+ words) In today’s geospatial environment, access to satellite imagery is no longer the challenge. The real challenge is finding the right imagery quickly, accessing it in the format you need, and seamlessly integrating it into existing workflows. The Living Library can…...
