๐ขNew paper out:
"A classification framework for mapping lunar soils"
We propose a structured system to classify lunar soils for ISRU and future Moon missions โ 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 gรฉologie Joe !
Le ministรจre de la transition รฉcologique a mise en ligne un atlas des paysages du #Jura avec de jolies illustrations dans la partie Diagnostique dont une section gรฉologique. Les thรฉmatiques sont trรจs variรฉs. atlas-paysages.jura.developpement-durable.gouv.fr/l-atlas-r2.h... (cc @subsolum.bsky.social)
Weekend field visit to the Tourbiรจres de Prรฉnovel (#Jura, France) โ 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 โโthe 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 worldโlike 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 Moonโs 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 ๐ญ ๐งช
This is figure 1, which shows the identification of ferrihydrite in the Martian dust.
A study in Nature Communications attributes Marsโ 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 ๐งช ๐ญ
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 geology๐
It's #DarwinDay. He was a father of #soilscience #pedology, by combining his knowledge of #geology and #biology, he published โThe Formation of Vegetable Mould Through the Action of Worms.โ In this book you can see one of the first #soilhorizon designation A,B,C.

Hi Joe, sorry in fact I was in advance, it's in february. I erased the post
๐ตโจ When we say biocrusts are "the coral reefs of the desert," we mean itโjust look at these vibrant colors! ๐ ๐ก๐ต๐ด They're also reef-like in their roles stabilizing soil, reducing erosion, retaining moisture, and fixing nitrogen ๐ฟ
