Nine years ago, when I knew a bit of Octave/MATLAB, it took me almost 3 months to program an application for ground-penetrating radar. Now, #Gemini Pro 2.5 and I have taken 3 days to do the same —and better— in #Python .

#IA #programming. #GPR, #GroundPenetratingRadar.

How do scientists see ice hidden underground?
A recent study by Peter Jung and his colleagues explores how borehole Ground Penetrating Radar #GPR helps detect frozen layers beneath the surface.

Ground penetrating radar imaging* of the ancient (and now buried) Martian coast at Utopia Planitia.
Wondering if it's a Noachian or Hesperian beach; the authors didn't say.
#GPR | #Mars | #Beach

* Not the most spectacular imaging but I've seen worse, and it's still amazing we have them.
