why should you book ur plot on moon or Mars soon key reasons why acquiring land or plots on these celestial bodies might become essential: 1. **Scientific Research**: Establishing permanent settlements on the Moon or Mars would provide unique opportunities for scientific research. Scientists could study the geology, atmosphere, and other aspects of these bodies in much greater detail than robotic missions allow. Owning plots of land would enable countries or organizations to conduct long-term studies and experiments, advancing our understanding of these planets and their potential resources. 2. **Resource Utilization**: Both the Moon and Mars are believed to have valuable resources, such as water ice and minerals. Owning plots of land would allow countries or companies to extract and utilize these resources for various purposes, including supporting human settlements, producing rocket propellant, or generating power. 3. **Space Colonization**: The long-term goal of establishing permanent human settlements on other planets requires designated areas for habitats, infrastructure, and agricultural activities. Owning plots of land would be essential to plan and develop sustainable colonies, making them self-sufficient in the long run. 4. **Space Economy**: As space exploration advances, a space-based economy could emerge. Owning land on the Moon or Mars would enable countries or corporations to establish commercial ventures, such as tourism, mining, or manufacturing, which could drive economic growth. 5. **International Competition**: With the increasing interest in space exploration, there might be competition among nations to assert their presence and influence beyond Earth. Claiming and holding plots of land could be seen as a way to establish dominance in space and secure potential strategic advantages. 6. **Legal and Political Precedence**: As human activity in space becomes more common, there will be a need to establish legal frameworks for governance and resource utilization. Owning plots of land might be a way to assert legal claims and influence future policies and treaties governing space activities. 7. **Backup for Earth**: In the long run, humanity may seek to establish colonies on other celestial bodies as a means of ensuring the survival of the species in the event of catastrophic events on Earth, such as asteroid impacts or environmental disasters. Owning plots of land would be a critical step towards establishing sustainable off-world settlements. It's important to note that the ownership of celestial bodies is a complex and contentious issue, as current international space law, particularly the Outer Space Treaty, prohibits any national sovereignty claims. Nevertheless, as human space exploration progresses and commercial interests in space grow. #SpaceColonization #CelestialProperty #MoonLandGrab #MarsSettlements #SpaceResources #FutureFrontiers"

An interesting question about paleomagnetic surveying. Read more at the link below. https://zurl.co/Epaz #paleomagnetic #survey #geophysics

What are magnetometers A magnetometer is a scientific instrument used for measuring the strength of magnetic fields. For example, the device can be used to find variations in the magnetic field of the ocean floor. Higher magnetization levels are caused by the presence of ferrous (unoxidized) iron on the seafloor, either from a shipwrecked boat made of steel or a volcanic rock containing grains of magnetite. The remains of a wooden ship can sometimes also be detected. This because of objects made of iron or ballast stones containing magnetite. Scientists can also use the total magnetic field measurements to estimate the age and thickness of volcanic lava flow at mid-ocean ridges and ocean island hot spots, locate pipelines, undersea cables and bridge foundations. How do magnetometers work The Earth’s magnetic field is generated by the electric currents of iron and nickel at its core and the strength of this field can be measured by magnetometers using various methods and types of sensors. During a survey the magnetometer is towed behind the research vessel or mounted on a submersible or ROV. The magnetometer samples the field strength at a rate that can vary a bit depending on application. Often a sample rate of one to ten reading per second is used. The field strength of the background level can vary but the presence of something ferrous (containing iron), like a ship hull fragment, an anchor, or a geological formation of basalt will create a significant change that can easily be detected. What happens next? Magnetometer data is collected with corresponding latitude/longitude position data from a GPS and processed to create a map of the local variations in the magnetic field. To determine the cause of the detected anomality a classification is required. This can be done by divers or other complementary methods. Why is it important? A magnetometer is an excellent tool to search and map the location of contaminations where there are an iron-oxide component present. Especially when larges areas have to be surveyed and other methods like soil sampling would be too tedious and cost ineffective. About the images RWMT work with nation states, government agencies and institutions on sensitive and often classified operations. Also, the tools we use are constantly being evaluated and changes depending on the nature of the operation. Because of this, we have sometimes chosen to show example images of the tools we use, rather than images from actual projects. #geophysics #geophysical #magnetometer #magnetic #geology #magneticsurvey.

A deep 3D Electrical Resistivity Tomography (DERT) survey was performed by G.E.G. Experts SAS and IRIS Instruments, with the support of Geostudi Astier and of the University Of Geneva, on top of the dome of La Soufrière Volcano (Guadeloupe). Despite difficult climatic and access conditions, a team of 13 people took 4 days to acquire a 3D block of approximately 500 x 500 m using Fullwaver technology. The project was funded by the Agence Nationale de la Recherche as a part of the MegaMu project (https://lnkd.in/dqTXHW7T). #geophysics #géophysique #ERT #3DERT #geophysics #Iris #géothermie #nearsurface #environnement #appliedgeophysics #innovation #Irisinstruments #geology #electricresistivitytomography #geothermal #volcano

🚨 Exciting Update 🚨 I’m thrilled to share my latest publication in the field of seismoacoustics titled, "Local Detection of Ground Coupled Acoustic Waves with Seismic Arrays and Their Potential Role in the Discrimination of Explosions and Earthquakes". This study explores innovative methodologies for using seismic arrays to distinguish between local low magnitude seismic events caused by explosions and natural earthquakes. In this paper, we delve into the characteristics of ground-coupled acoustic waves and demonstrate how seismic array data can enhance our detection and analysis capabilities. The implications of this research are significant for both natural disaster early warning systems and monitoring man-made seismic activities. You can access the full paper https://lnkd.in/gbiNvqhn. I look forward to engaging with colleagues on this topic and discussing potential collaborative projects that can further our understanding and application of these findings. #Seismology #Seismoacoustics #Geophysics #EarthSciences #ResearchPublications

🌞 How does the sky color relate to the geophysical principles of underwater exploration? 🌐   Do you know why the sky is blue and why it turns red during sunset? The key lies in the frequency of electromagnetic waves and the colors our eyes can perceive. High-frequency waves, with short wavelengths, interact more with the medium they travel through, attenuating easily and not reaching long distances depending on the medium.   The blue color corresponds to the higher frequency of visible light, interacting more with the molecules in the atmosphere and diffusing easily as it passes through, giving the sky its blue hue. However, during sunset, when the sun is near the horizon, sunlight has to traverse a longer path through the atmosphere. At this point, the higher frequency of blue light cannot fully cross. Red light, with the lower frequency of the visible light spectrum, travels longer distances within the atmosphere, resulting in the sky taking on a red hue.   In underwater exploration, acoustic waves are commonly used instead of electromagnetic waves, but the physical principles are similar. High-frequency waves experience greater attenuation and cannot travel long distances. However, due to their increased interaction with the medium, high frequencies provide higher resolution data.   For instance, conventional seismic methods use low-frequency waves below 1 kHz, capable of imaging geological layers several kilometers beneath the ocean floor. High-frequency seismic methods, such as Sub-Bottom Profilers (SBP), use frequencies typically ranging from 1 to 20 kHz, reaching only a few dozen meters below the ocean floor. Despite the limited depth, SBPs can observe sedimentary layers only a few centimeters thick.   Sound waves used for bathymetry purposes should not cross the water/sediment boundary, requiring frequencies higher than 30 kHz.   Side Scan Sonars, aiming to image the ocean floor with the best possible resolution, utilize frequencies that can reach up to 1000 kHz.   In conclusion, the captivating interplay of colors in the sky during sunset and the marvels of underwater exploration share a common thread rooted in the fundamental principles of physics.   #Geophysics #SkyColor #Wavelengths #UnderwaterExploration #acousticwaves🌈 🌊
