Summary: Improving the estimation of snow density is crucial for various applications such as estimating water equivalent, hydroelectric power production, and assessing natural hazards. Hyperspectral imaging has shown promise in this area due to the influence of snow's physical properties on its spectral reflectance. A hybrid snow density estimation model based on spectral data was proposed in this study, which utilized a classification step to establish bijective relations between density and spectral reflectance, leading to improved performance in snow density estimation.

Summary: The natural variations in volcanic rocks play a critical role in understanding mantle and crust conditions. Thermal infrared spectroscopy is effective in modeling mineralogy, crystallinity, and mineral chemistry in volcanic rocks, while visible/near-infrared spectroscopy should supplement petrology by providing unique constraints on oxide minerals, microtexture, and alteration processes.

Summary: Disentangling the individual contributions from vegetation and soil in measured canopy reflectance is difficult. Solar Induced chlorophyll Fluorescence (SIF) can help separate vegetation and soil components, with NIRvH showing the smallest offset compared to NIRv and DVI in isolating true NIR reflectance of vegetation. This study highlights the potential of NIRvH in retrieving canopy structure parameters and estimating fluorescence yield using hyperspectral measurements.

Summary: The integration of reflectance sensors into commercial planter or tillage components has allowed for detailed quantification of spatial soil variability. However, there is limited knowledge regarding sensor performance and reproducibility. A study conducted in Missouri, USA in 2019 aimed to investigate the accuracy of sensors in estimating soil organic matter (OM) and the repeatability of sensor output across different sensing dates.

Summary: In this study, a new dynamic normalized difference index (DNDI) was proposed to estimate soil organic matter (SOM) using visible and near-infrared spectroscopy. The results showed that the DNDI index had a higher correlation with SOM compared to the two-dimensional normalized difference index (NDI). The DNDI model exhibited better performance in SOM estimation.

Summary: In this study, stable calcium isotopic analysis was conducted on the returned samples from Ryugu, revealing a higher calcium content compared to CI chondrites. The isotopic similarity suggests that the elevated calcium in Ryugu samples is attributed to the presence of carbonates, which likely precipitated during a major episode of aqueous activity occurring approximately 5 million years after Solar System formation.

Summary: In this study, similarities between asteroids and meteorites are identified through spectral analysis. Major connections between asteroid types and meteorite types are confirmed, and new connections are discovered. The diversity of asteroid and meteorite compositions is emphasized, and the degeneracy of classification by spectral features alone is highlighted, requiring additional measurements to establish asteroid-meteorite links.

Summary: This study evaluates the application of a fayalite determination method to equilibrated ordinary chondrites and compares the results with electron probe microanalysis. The two methods show good agreement, but differences can be attributed to analytical uncertainty and sampling techniques. The study also highlights the effect of exposure to room temperature and humidity conditions on XRD measurements of fayalite content in ordinary chondrites.

Summary: This study measured light transmittance and reflectance in 21 conifer species and found variations in transmittance values among different species and between sapwood and heartwood within certain species. The results also revealed peaks or shoulders in certain wavelength ranges and differences in transmittance patterns among different genera. The anatomical characteristics of wood and the presence of secondary metabolites were found to influence light transmittance.

Summary: Near-infrared reflectance (NIR) retinal imaging provides better visualization of structures in the outer retina, retinal pigment epithelium, and choroid. It has several advantages, including easy acquisition with structural spectral domain optical coherence tomography, patient comfort, and improved contrast and spatial resolution. It can aid in the diagnosis and follow-up of various chorioretinal diseases and has clinical applications in ocular inflammatory disease, vascular and acquired disease, degenerative disease, tumors, systemic conditions, toxic and traumatic disease, optic nerve head conditions, and physiological findings.

Summary: The study proposes a hybrid approach for estimating UV Rrs from visible bands and evaluates its performance using in situ and satellite data, showing high accuracy in both clear open ocean and optically complex waters. The model-estimated UV Rrs may improve the accuracy of absorption coefficients in semi-analytical IOPs algorithm, indicating great potential for reconstructing UV Rrs data and enhancing IOPs retrieval for historical satellite sensors.

Summary: Water ice is abundant in the outer solar system but volatile in the inner solar system. Inner solar system bodies like Mercury, the Moon, and Ceres have water ice deposits in various forms, with permanently shadowed regions acting as cold traps. The surface of the Moon releases OH or H2O during meteoroid showers, while dwarf planet Ceres has enough gravity to maintain a gravitationally-bound water exosphere.

Summary: Analysis of reflectance spectra from the Chang'E-5 lander reveals that lunar regolith samples from the Northern Oceanus Procellarum contain up to 120 ppm of water, mostly attributed to solar wind implantation. A light-colored rock named CE5-Rock near the lander exhibits stronger absorption and potentially contains around 180 ppm of water, suggesting an additional water source from the lunar interior. The low water content of the regolith may indicate degassing of the mantle reservoir beneath the Chang'E-5 landing site.

Summary: Spinels are important for understanding the geology of the lunar crust and mantle. Previous studies have focused on rare pure Mg-Al spinels, but our approach allows for the detection of spinels with a wider range of compositions, including within mafic-bearing assemblages. By integrating data from the Moon Mineralogy Mapper with laboratory measurements and petrographic observations, we validated this approach and identified small abundances of spinel in the Crisium region.
