🚨New Paper🚨
Azzam et al. explore machine learning techniques for automated petrographic analyses and provide 2 novel open source tools (GrainSight and PetroSeg) for grain detection, grain characterization, and porosity calculations.
Those samples were analyzed during the second day using the portable X-Ray Fluorescence (pXRF) spectrometer where the students contrasted the obtained results with previous analysis made by 7th-semester Ikiam students in an area without anthropogenic intervention around Ikiam.
On the first day, soil samples were collected from Ikiam's plots after discussing both the national regulations for research/analysis purposes and sampling techniques.
As a female geoscentist that has done a LOT of fieldwork, I cannot empahsize enough how much it frustates me, that people still consider this a taboo. Grow up, and be considerate of females, this is part of our biology. https://t.co/FXJ78Xk2xe

Rainfall trends over the Amazon Basin (1981-2020):
- Northern and western portions have been facing more rainfall (blue)
- Southern portions, the opposite (red).
One of the consequences are record-breaking floods along the Amazon River in the last decade.
To finish this week of seismic tomography results in @u_ikiam Geosciences, we have published a paper to contribute to understanding the headward erosion problem on the Coca River in Napo province in Ecuador's Amazon region.
