I fed a book chapter I wrote into #notebooklm and got some nice infographic and slides, with some hallucinations.
Article "Automated surface mapping via #unsupervised learning and classification of #Mercury Visible–Near-Infrared #reflectance spectra"
https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/chapter/edited-volume/abs/pii/B9780128187210000161
Not really happy with feeding Elsevier, but my boss was ok with it....

We got a #paper out! We demonstrate that you can retrieve **all** of PROSAIL #RadiativeTransfer model parameters from #timeseries of #Sentinel2 #reflectance. You can then even explain ~90% of the full #Hyperspectral data. At least over #crops https://doi.org/10.1016/j.rse.2024.114510
Archetypal crop trait dynamics for enhanced retrieval of biophysical parameters from Sentinel-2 MSI

We present a new method for estimating biophysical parameters from Earth Observation (EO) data using a crop-specific empirical model based on the PROS…

Reindeer vision may have evolved to spot favorite food in the snowy dark of winter

When Santa's exhausted reindeer finally set down their sleigh in the deep snow of the North Pole early Christmas morning, it's not Rudolph's radiant red nose that will help them find sustenance in the barren landscape.
