Earth Rover Program Launches Globally on World Soil Day, Unveils Scientific Concept of “Soilsmology”

LONDON, Dec. 05, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The Earth Rover Program today launches globally, introducing “soilsmology”—a novel application of seismology that opens an unprecedented window into the health and structure of soil, one of the planet’s most vital and vulnerable ecosystems.
