Thank you for sharing about our project.

This is really nice, thank you.

Thank you Hilary for sharing about our project 🤗.

Aww thanks for sharing your point of view, it's interesting to see how different people see our project through a different lense.

Thanks for sharing your point of view and I appreciate your feedback. See my other comments where I hope I am answering these issues. Otherwise I'll be more than happy to answer if you have any questions.

3. As of now our major developments and focus are on seismic data where we managed to lower the costs down to 10$ per sensor compared to thousands of $.

2. GPR is great (my fav. method actually) but has its limitations like any other method. That's why we have a brilliant team of interdisciplinary researchers to reduce uncertainities and look at the soil from every possible aspect that it is possible.

1. Thanks for your reply and for the support. Geophysical equipment is insanely expensive, not every farmer can afford that, we are trying to make the sensors and data as close to 0$ as possible and available to everybody on the planet.

Hi satellite data, even though great they lack resolution and depth of sampling. Whereas we look dirrectly in the subsurface with geophysical surveys on the ground with 10 cm resolution. The next stages and more details about the platform will also be available soon. :)

We currently have research hubs in UK, Kenya, Colombia, Germany and France and looking to expand in the following years :)

As of now we are looking into agricultural soils (crops, pasture etc) but maybe in the future when we advance with the research and launch the database platform, scientists might use the data for case studies like the one you mentioned. Thanks for the support :)

I think you're grossly minimising the complexity of the physical parameters of the soils and their complex interactions. If it were that easy to be done by an archaeologist, Earth Rover Program wouldn't exist. But thanks for sharing and for the support. Cheers!

It's not just the volume of topsoil, is about looking into all the other soil parameters (as highlighted in the article) which are helpful for the farmers to know about, without having to dig holes anymore. Plus the database will be open and free for everyone, nothing to be upset about.
