New research led by a team from @TCD_Geography shows that Irish #peat soils, which are key to absorbing greenhouse gases, are far more vast than we previously realised.

Nice paper illustrating a novel application of machine learning. Using this methodology, soil geochemistry can predict #radon potential classes with a 73% accuracy. Quite remarkable given the large area covered and range of geology and soil types!
