The Global Heat Flow Database grew from 58,302 data points in 2012 to 91,182 in 2024, with enhanced quality assessments. Despite this, gaps in data and methodological details persist, especially in underrepresented regions. The database is crucial for geophysical, geothermal, and environmental research, offering valuable insights into Earth's thermal processes.

Short summary
Short summary
Mineral resource exploration and mining is an essential part of today's high-tech industry. Modern remote-sensing exploration techniques from multiple platforms (e.g., satellite) to detect the spectral characteristics of the surface require spectral libraries as an essential reference. To enable remote mapping, the spectral libraries for rare-earth-bearing minerals, copper-bearing minerals and surface samples from a copper mine are presented here with their corresponding geochemical validation.

Short summary
The International Service for the Geoid provides free access to a repository of geoid models. The most important ones are freely available to perform analyses on the evolution of the geoid computation research field. Furthermore, the ISG performs research taking advantage of its archive and organizes specific training courses on geoid determination. This paper aims at describing the service and showing the added value of the archive of geoid models for the scientific community and technicians.
The International Service for the Geoid provides free access to a repository of geoid models....
