AI or ML works really well is spotting challenges to satellite imagery.

I haven’t seen GeoAI working outside the lab yet, where you can ask a LLM to help you find geographic data.

While from an environmental justice perspective the right or wrong of this question seems clear, various forms of framing, characterisation and legal interventions are used to shift claims from unjust to credible to legitimate.

Congratulations, Quartz!

After a decade of #MinCup, this key rock-forming mineral of optical tricks is the #MinCup26 Champion!

Due to intense manipulation attempts in the final hours, the exact winning margin is still being audited. Please join us tomorrow for celebration!

Not all glass is created equal. 👀

Quartz glass can handle extreme heat, thermal shock, and demanding industrial conditions that ordinary glass simply can’t.

So, what makes it so special?

Not only the backbone of the continental crust.
