H/T @renato Gatto de Morais | Geógrafo | Mestre em Recursos Hídricos | Doutorando em Geografia
“Combining MODIS data, TRMM, river discharge, a digital terrain model, and multinomial logistic regression, [the authors] identified three predominant classes of flood origin: local rainfall, bank overflow, and mixed areas. The model achieved a Nagelkerke Pseudo-R² of 0.63 and a classification accuracy of up to 81.2% (10-fold cross-validation). To the best of [their] knowledge, this is the first explicit approach to mapping flood agents for this wetland, a component that has historically remained unmapped despite its recognized influence on habitats and biodiversity…”

“The mapping of functional hydrologic units is crucial for enhancing our understanding of flooding and hydroecological processes in large wetlands. These units are typically defined by flooding frequency, duration, and magnitude, but another important hydrologic characteristic is the origin of flooding, known as the flood agent. This study presents an empirical framework utilizing remote sensing and GIS procedures for modeling flood agents in the northern Pantanal wetland. Eleven spatial data layers were derived from multi-year MODIS flood maps, daily rainfall estimates from the TRMM 3B42 grid, in situ discharge data, the BEST Digital Terrain Model, and a hydrographic network layer. These layers were tested for their predictive power in a multinomial logistic regression mapping model. Model performance metrics, along with qualitative validation of mapping outcomes using in situ flooding measurements, and vegetation and soil data from field test sites, support the plausibility of the proposed mapping scheme. However, they also highlight the challenges of flood agent mapping in large tropical wetlands…”

H/T @Dessalegn worku Ayalew
“The present study assesses the impacts of climate change on blue and green water in the Kessie Watershed of the Ethiopian Upper Blue Nile Basin using the SWAT+ model.
[The authors] set up [a] SWAT+ model using quality-controlled and homogenized observational climate time series… and calibrated it using a multisite calibration approach. [They] selected CMIP6 climate models for future simulations and bias-correction methods through a comprehensive performance assessment... Building on these previous studies, the present research further evaluates the reliability of combining robust climate-model selection with optimal bias-correction methods to improve the reliability of hydrological simulations. [They] then used the best-performing climate models, bias-corrected using the optimal methods, to project future changes in blue and green water in the study area…
KEY FINDINGS:
• SWAT+ effectively represented hydrological processes across multiple gauging stations in the Ethiopian Upper Blue Nile Basin.
• Ensembles of CMIP6 climate models improved the reliability of hydrological simulations compared with individual climate models.
• Optimized climate-model selection reduced biases in hydrological simulations more than bias correction alone.
• Arbitrary selection of climate models can degrade hydrological simulations, even when their outputs are bias-corrected using robust methods.
• Both blue and green water are projected to increase under future climate change in the Ethiopian Upper Blue Nile Basin.
• Blue water exhibits greater seasonality and climate sensitivity than green water flow and green water storage.
The study also provides sustainable water management options for adapting to the impacts of climate change, with implications for water resource planning and management in the Upper Blue Nile Basin…”

What happened, Moon Mission?
After watching the video, I am thinking, we should land a Starship in a deep crater and unload the Lunar Boring Machines sooner rather than later. Bore an opening to the massive lava tubes, mine the water ice that covers the floor of the lava tube, and build the habitat.??
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n-nUKSLPw6c
If we are actually planning to stay on the Moon, we need the protection of a hundred meters of regolith. And the water ice to stay alive…
‘I was thinking that for years…’Prompt:
Video Link
Summarize and list the key pointsGemini Said:
This video by Astrum Extra, titled “Exactly How We’re Going to Colonise the Moon,” is a compilation discussing human return to the Moon, lunar science, and recent exploration missions.Video Summary
The video explores humanity’s ongoing efforts and technical strategies to set up permanent bases on the Moon. It details how satellite mappers (like NASA’s LRO and South Korea’s Danuri/ShadowCam) identify crucial lunar resources and shelter sites, examines the test results and mission progression of NASA’s Artemis program (from Artemis 1 through Artemis 4), and reviews the findings of India’s Chandrayaan-3 mission regarding the search for water ice at the lunar South Pole [00:51], [08:41], [13:58], [01:13:04].
Key Takeaways & Points
1. Lunar Geology & Natural Resources
- Pit Craters & Lava Tubes: The Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO) discovered pit craters over 100 meters deep that lead to subterranean lava tube cave systems [02:34], [03:06]. These offer natural protection from lethal solar/cosmic radiation and meteorites, serving as ideal shelter locations for human habitats [03:53], [04:16].
- Lunar Water Cycle: Trace amounts of water exist in the surface regolith and shift in a subtle cycle driven by temperature changes throughout the lunar day [04:41], [05:11].
- Permanently Shadowed Regions (PSRs): Polar craters shielded from direct sunlight reach temperatures as low as -250°C, making them the coldest measured places in the solar system [05:54], [06:46]. These “cold traps” host locked reserves of water ice along with carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, and nitrogen compounds [07:04], [07:23].
2. Mapping and Imaging Advancements
- ShadowCam (Danuri Orbiter): Developed by NASA and carried aboard South Korea’s KPLO (Danuri), ShadowCam features 200-times greater light sensitivity than LRO cameras, allowing scientists to peer deep into shadowed crater interiors like Shackleton Crater to inspect for surface ice deposits [08:41], [09:08], [09:23].
3. The Artemis Program Milestones & Challenges
- Artemis 1 (Uncrewed Flight Test): Successfully launched aboard the SLS rocket in late 2022, placing the Orion capsule into a distant retrograde orbit around the Moon and testing key autonomous navigation, deep-space life support systems, and atmospheric re-entry [15:38], [21:43], [26:06].
- Anomalies Identified: Post-flight inspections revealed heat shield erosion (AVcoat material charring/chipping unexpectedly during re-entry) and minor helium/propulsion system leaks [35:52], [36:08], [01:06:07].
- Artemis 2 (Crewed Flyby): Designed as a 10-day mission carrying four astronauts (Reed Wiseman, Victor Glover, Christina Koch, and Jeremy Hansen) to perform flybys of the Moon, testing human systems, optical laser communication (O2O), and radiation exposures in deep space [29:43], [50:23], [53:49], [55:55].
- Artemis 3 & 4 Adjustments: Artemis 3 was shifted to a low-Earth orbit docking test (similar to Apollo 9) to lower technical risk, targeting the actual crewed lunar landing at the South Pole for Artemis 4 [38:32], [39:33], [41:51].
- Next-Gen Suits & Tools: Astronauts will use modern Axiom Space suits (built with Prada) and specialized instruments (like DUSTER) to withstand extreme cold and fine, abrasive lunar glass dust [43:21], [44:41], [45:37].
4. Chandrayaan-3 and the Search for Ice
- Historic Landing: India’s ISRO became the first agency to land a spacecraft (Vikram lander and Pragyan rover) near the lunar South Pole on a budget of ~$75 million [01:13:12], [01:17:28].
- Surface Composition: In-situ testing detected elements like aluminum, titanium, iron, calcium, oxygen, and sulfur in the polar regolith [01:19:12], [01:19:21].
- Where Is the Water? The rover found no immediate surface ice or hydrogen in the top layer [01:19:43], [01:23:57]. However, thermal probes revealed that while surface temperatures reached ~60°C, temperatures plunged down to -10°C just 8 cm below the surface, showing that lunar regolith acts as an insulator and suggesting water ice is buried underneath [01:24:25], [01:25:03].

💁🏻♀️ TIL: 🦦🗽 A camera captured the first river otter sighting in the #Bronx River in over a century.
Once treated as a city dumping ground, the #waterway lost #otters and #beavers to #pollution and #habitat loss. Decades of cleanup restored #oysters and beavers, now joined by this otter signaling active #ecosystem recovery.
