Venus 鈥� a hot planet pocked with tens of thousands of volcanoes 鈥� may be even more geologically active near its surface than previously thought. New calculations by researchers at Washington University in St. Louis suggest that the planet鈥檚 outer crust may be constantly churning, an unexpected phenomenon called convection that could help explain many of the volcanoes and other features of the Venusian landscape.

En las profundidades de la superficie terrestre, las formaciones rocosas pueden brillar en tonos brillantes de rosa, azul y verde bajo luz ultravioleta. Los cient铆ficos utilizan estas caracter铆sticas fluorescentes para comprender c贸mo se formaron las cuevas y c贸mo se sostiene la vida en su interior. Presentar谩n sus resultados en el encuentro de primavera de 2025 de la ACS.

Researchers have developed a pipeline that integrates zero-shot AI detection and segmentation tools to achieve robust, automated segmentation of remote sensing images. By leveraging a sliding window hyper-inference approach and an outlier rejection step, the pipeline enhances the identification of features such as buildings, trees, and vehicles in aerial and satellite imagery. This solution is implemented as a user-friendly Python package, LangRS, making advanced remote sensing segmentation accessible to a wide range of users.

An international research team led by the University of Vienna has discovered that the Solar System traversed the Orion star-forming complex, a component of the Radcliffe Wave galactic structure, approximately 14 million years ago. This journey through a dense region of space could have compressed the heliosphere, the protective bubble surrounding our solar system, and increased the influx of interstellar dust, potentially influencing Earth's climate and leaving traces in geological records. The findings, published in Astronomy & Astrophysics, offer a fascinating interdisciplinary link between astrophysics, paleoclimatology, and geology.

As global warming accelerates, the increasing number of supraglacial lakes and the need to accurately measure their depths have become critical for understanding ice sheet mass balance and sea-level rise. These lakes, formed by meltwater accumulation on ice sheet surfaces, significantly influence ice sheet dynamics and melting rates.
