We’re proud to share that Ingeniøren – EcoTech has spotlighted Martin Reinhard Rasmussen’s Ph.D. project in their latest newsletter. The article features MARTINIS, a novel, low-cost system for real-time, in-situ imaging of soil chemistry. By capturing high-resolution data on oxygen, pH, and ammonia directly underground, the technology offers a groundbreaking new approach to environmental monitoring and agricultural research.

Designed to operate beneath the Earth’s surface, MARTINIS provides unprecedented insight into the dynamic processes of soil systems, with promising implications for geoscience, climate studies, and sustainable land management.
