Ancient rocks reveal critical metal origin and continent-breaking forces
Researchers found that newly discovered niobium-rich carbonatites were formed more than 800 million years ago – rising from deep within the Earth through fractures of the crust during a tectonic rifting event that ultimately tore apart the supercontinent known as Rodinia: www.uni-goettingen.de/en/3240.html?id=7909

Our WAS seismometer in Westport, CT picked up a magnitude 6.0 earthquake that struck eastern Afghanistan near the Pakistan border on Sunday.
Location: 27 km NE of Jalalabad, Nangarhar Province
Time: 11:47 p.m. local time
Depth: 8 km
USGS models estimate the shaking could cause significant casualties.
Even from thousands of miles away, our instruments can "hear" the Earth’s rumble. https://www.cnn.com/2025/08/31/asia/afghanistan-earthquake-killed-injured-latam-intl
Climate Change: A Geoscience Perspective by Kristen St. John & Lawrence Krissek, 2025

Gab es doch einen Kometentreffer vor 12.800 Jahren?
Bohrkerne vom Meeresgrund liefern neue Indizien für einen Einschlag in der jüngeren Dryas

The aftershock zone of today’s M8.8 #kamchatka megathrust #earthquake is comparable to the rupture area of the 1952 rupture zone from Macinnes et al. (2010). At a rate of 8 cm/year, the accumulated slip of 6 m since 1952 matches with the preliminary rupture model of today’s earthquake. #geoscience #seismology #geology #science

A recently published paper in the journal #Geology suggests that the Meteor Crater impact about 56,000 years ago may have triggered a river-damming landslide along the Colorado River in Marble Canyon, just upstream of the #GrandCanyon.
How that I have your attention 
I would like to exploit it for some work stuff. #RemoteSensing #ImageProcessing communities, I have a real quest. We're segmenting shallow underwarter structures in these archival aerial photos (grayscale, single-band) and the segmentation algorithm picks up... the waves on the water surface, not reefs and such. This gives an artefactual vergence (direction) that is not present in the layer we are interested in, i.e. sea floor. This is SVM in eCognition. Don't mention segmentation in ArcGIS (unless you're a powerful wizard, in that case I bow).
We also have a custom ML model but it's not that good either (yet?). How to get rid of them waves?! #geoscience #EarthObservation
