Earth observation systems face a critical scale gap: satellites provide broad coverage at coarse resolution, while meteorological stations deliver continuous measurements only at sparse locations. This lack of intermediate-scale observations (10–100 km²) limits satellite validation, weather model calibration, and detection of mesoscale atmospheric phenomena that drive extreme events....

The Belgrade Muon Station has conducted continuous cosmic ray monitoring since the early 2000s, operating synchronized ground level and shallow underground detectors to study rigidity dependent cosmic ray variations. Enhanced stability and sensitivity have been achieved through ongoing instrumental upgrades and the development of two atmospheric correction methods based on principal component...

Measuring the flux of cosmic ray particles involves multiple scientific disciplines and carries significant technical applications. In our case, the primary motivation for determining the muon spectrum was the scarcity of literature data available in the momentum range below 1 GeV/c. Furthermore, we aimed to investigate whether such measurements could be performed using a device originally...

Muography with scintillator-based detectors enables the investigation of mountain topography above tunnels and underground structures. The Hankuk Atmospheric-muon Wide Landscaping (HAWL) is the first real-time portable muon tomography project. It successfully charted the mountainous region of eastern Korea by measuring cosmic ray muons with a detector in motion. HAWL achieved a tunnel-length...

The Occidental College/KoBold Metals collaboration is exploring a detector to extend muography underground to depths of 1 km. Deployed at scale such a detector would utilize 1000s of square meters of surface detectors to detect incoming air showers and inexpensive, non-directional borehole detectors in coincidence. The measurement of muon direction and depth provide the basic parameters needed...

We analyzed a year-long muography dataset (2024–2025) acquired at the Sos Enattos mine in Sardinia, Italy, to investigate temporal variations in the overburden mass at the Sos Enattos site. This mine is a potential candidate site for the future European gravitational-wave detector, Einstein Telescope, and the characterization of its overburden is of major interest. Muography is a passive...

The MURAVES (MUon RAdiography of VESuvius) experiment aims to investigate the internal structure of the “Great Cone”, the summit cone of Mt. Vesuvius, an active volcano near Naples, Italy. The experiment uses the muography technique with scintillator-based tracking stations installed on the volcano’s flank. Each layer of the tracking stations comprises two orthogonal planes segmented into...

Cosmic-ray muons penetrate large rock volumes, provide measurable fluxes through hundreds of metres of material, and their attenuation encodes density and thickness information. Proof-of-concept studies have already demonstrated that muography can support geoscientific applications (e.g., [1]). Here, we highlight recent results from our geoscientific studies and demonstrate the versatility of...

Muon tomography is a promising method for future Mars and Moon missions, due to it’s spectacular penetration depth, low energy consumption and the unique information it can provide. The study on the feasibility of muography on other planets and moons has to start with understanding the cosmic muon production on these planetary bodies. Cosmic muons on Earth are generated in the atmosphere above...

Muon radiography represents a promising non-invasive technique to image the interior of large-scale geological structures on other planetary bodies such as Mars. This method provides insights into the thickness and density of geological formations, crucial for the detection of potentially habitable subsurface environments and for future mission planning. However, on Mars, the absence of a...
