This is a neat new study using LIDAR to document pre-colonization raised agricultural beds along the Menominee River that separates Wisconsin from Michigan, north of Green Bay.

My latest for @science.org: Researchers at Nokia Bell Labs have done something remarkable -- turned a submarine telecom cable in the Pacific Ocean into, in effect, an array of 44,000 (!) seismic sensors.
That's potentially DAS-like precision -- and it doesn't need its own dedicated fibers.
