Long awaited, here is the soil map of Skyrim using the Canadian System of Soil classification. Brief description of my conclusions under the cut:
Chernozem: Whiterun Hold is likely home to the majority of Skyrim’s Chernozems. The majority of biological carbon sequestering in grassland environments are below ground, within the root systems. Organic material- humus, builds up, causing the upper layers of the soil to take on a dark colour. Additionally, Solonetzic soils could be present, peppered throughout the hold if the parent material to the soil is salty enough.
Cryosols are formed in Skyrim’s far North and high alpine regions. The mean annual soil temperature being 0 degrees C, with permafrost conditions. Freeze-thaw cycles lead to permafrost at the soils surface, but also cryoturbation: soil movement arising from frost action.
Additionally in mountainous regions, you would find Regosols. Soils which develop on unstable landforms and have had little time to develop, such as mountain slopes, or river floodplains.
Gleysols occur across the landscape of Skyrim, but primarily in Hjaalmarch. Gleysols are commonly found in depressions or low-lying areas where water saturates the soil continuously, leading to a molted characteristic to the soil.
Organic soils would primarily be found in the water saturated soils of Hjaalmarch. These are wetland soils found in forested areas and are commonly known as peat, muck, bogs or fens.
Borrowing from the USDA soil taxonomy, Inceptisols are light colored soils with moderate alteration, occurring under cool and cold climates. These soils would be found in the Eastmarch caldera.
Luvisols are associated with forested landscapes overlying loamy glacial till, or on clayey lacustrine deposits. Lake Honrich dominates a large portion of the Rift, according to UESP, seemingly draining from the lake. I believe this to be the site of a melted glacier, the lake being meltwater. Clay sediments are associated with lakes because of their deposition, coarser sediments bordering the lake near the shore, and finer particles at the deepest reaches. Additionally, at the end of the Karth river, where sandy deposits would be deposited at Solitude, before the stream looses power further down the river, leaving only clay to be deposited.
Podzols are associated with igneous parent materials, coniferous vegetation and high acidity. Primarily they are found in Falkreath Hold and Southern Eastmarch.
Brunisols are an intermediate stage between Regosols (undeveloped soils), and Podzol or Luvisols. I believe with the unstable, mountainous landscape of the Reach, soils would remain still rather undeveloped. Brunisols would also be interspersed among the Luvisols.

Mountain hikes - Lia Wälti x reader
A/N: I’m not sure where this came from and I’m not too happy with it but here you go.
You met her in the mountains.
You knew who the other was of course, her being a footballer and you an alpine skier, both having represented your country on the national and worldwide stage so it was no surprise to find the other enjoying the fresh air.
Springtime meant it was your first visit up the mountain since the season concluded whereas Lia was taking a break from the strain of the national team and was looking to find some peace in the breathtaking views.
Despite having never really spoken, apart from the odd word at a gala every now and then, the Arsenal midfielder asked if she could join you on your current course and you happily agreed, falling into step as you traversed the winding path.
It wasn’t a coincidence that the next time you climbed the all too familiar route that you found Lia waiting by the gate, her hair pulled back into the bubble braid you would come to adore so much in future, her skin glowing in the spring sunshine.
You loved everything about being outdoors and would often get lost in the beauty of the little things that you couldn’t admire when participating in your sport, your companion watching on with a smile as you stopped to take in every little flower, every stream, every tree or bush.
The woman shared your love for the smaller things in life and whenever you set off together into the heavens, her camera roll was full of the same flowers you admired or the winding river below, however the more time you spent together, the more said camera roll started to include pictures of you.
In the beginning it was simply photos of the scenery or the path ahead where you just happened to be in frame but it quickly became more personal and eventually evolved into you smiling into the camera as Lia hoped to capture how your eyes twinkled or how the sun bounced off your skin.
Those were your favourite moments, the times when you could get away from your hectic schedules, although yours was always quieter in the spring and steal away hours in the places you loved.
Your first visit London however, you felt like a fish out of water, so used to the quiet and stillness of the mountains as even on race days they had their moments of silence, the hustle and bustle of the city a major shock to your system.
It was the midfielders home away from home and you tried your best to adapt, after all you had the feeling you would be visiting a lot more. You even braved the cold and rain, venturing out to Meadow Park with your new purchase, which was received with a dazzling smile, hidden under your coat ready to surprise the older woman at full time.
Lia often shared your feelings of restlessness, shared your longing to breathe in the alpine air again and throughout your relationship, would hurry you out onto the hiking paths as soon as you returned home, bags still packed and discarded by the door in favour of the air you both craved.

The Embers of Us pt.1
I'm posting part one for @erisweek2023 modern au day and part two will be finished in the near future :)
Summary:
It's been ten years since Azriel fled his hometown of Starlight Creek, Wyoming to attend college in California. When his mom decides she's moving back to care for her best friend, there's no question in his mind—Azriel's going with her. She's done so much for him that pulling up roots to support her and his family is the least he can do. Those roots were shallow; prairie grasses, alpine forests, snow-fed streams, and star-strewn skies always suited him better anyway.
It's been ten years since Eris Vanserra was forced to choose the lesser of two substantial hurts. It's just his luck that the person who walks into the town's only bar on a Thursday evening in April is the same man he'd pushed away all those years ago. It's a drunk birthday wish come true, only seven years too late. It's a small world, and despite his best efforts not to, Eris runs into Azriel where he least expects.
A story about second chances for people and places, emotionally messy humans, and so much more. Loosely inspired by both the line "I wish I knew how to quit you" from Brokeback Mountain (2005.)

WHAT IS BEYOND THE EDGE OF THE SOLAR SYSTEM??
Blog#383
Wednesday, March 13th, 2024.
Welcome back,
Earth is the sixth planet from the edge of the solar system, meaning we're none too near this cold and inhospitable frontier. But we've sent out various spacecraft over the years, so do we have any idea what the edge of the solar system looks like?
The answer is yes, but it's a work in progress. One of the latest developments, a 3D map of the solar system's edge that took 13 years to create, revealed a few more secrets about this mysterious boundary, called the outer heliosphere.
Tumblr media
The outer heliosphere marks the region of space where the solar wind, or the stream of charged particles emitted from the sun, is "deflected and draped back" by the interstellar radiation that permeates the empty space beyond the solar system, said Dan Reisenfeld, a space science researcher at Los Alamos National Laboratory in New Mexico and head of the team that conducted the research on the 3D map. In other words, solar wind and interstellar particles meet and form a boundary at the far reaches of the solar system.
Tumblr media
Earthlings first got a glimpse of the solar system's outer edge in 2012, when Voyager I, a NASA spacecraft that launched in 1977, crossed into interstellar space, according to NASA. Voyager 2 was not far behind, repeating the feat in 2018. Equipped with golden records full of Bach, Louis Armstrong and humpback whale songs, in addition to their scientific instruments, Voyagers 1 and 2 reported a sudden dropoff in solar particles and a substantial increase in galactic radiation when they left the solar system, according to NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory at the California Institute of Technology.
Tumblr media
The new 3D map reveals even more about the heliosphere. The inner layer — where the sun and its planets are nestled — is roughly spherical and is thought to extend roughly 90 astronomical units (AU) in all directions. (One AU is the average distance between Earth and the sun, about 93 million miles, or 150 million kilometers.) The outer layer is much less symmetrical. In one direction — that in which the ever-moving sun plows through the space in front of it, encountering cosmic radiation — the outer heliosphere extends about 110 AU, but in the opposite direction, it's much longer, at least 350 AU, according to Reisenfeld.
Tumblr media
That lack of symmetry comes from the sun's movement through the Milky Way, as it experiences friction with the galactic radiation in front of it and clears out a space in its wake. "There's a lot of plasma [charged particles] in the interstellar medium, and… the inner heliosphere, which is pretty round, is an obstacle in this stream of plasma which is flowing past it," Reisenfeld told Live Science. "It has the same effect as water going around a rock in a stream," with a rush of water crashing into the rock in front and a sheltered calm behind it.
Tumblr media
Measurements for the 3D map were gathered using the Interstellar Boundary Explorer (IBEX), which was launched in 2008 and is "the size of a bus tire," according to NASA. It's pronounced "like the animal," Reisenfeld said, referring to the ibex mountain goats known for their gravity-defying treks up alpine cliffs. But the animal that IBEX really takes after is the bat.
Tumblr media
Many bats hunt insects, such as mosquitoes, by emitting a pulse of sound and using the time delay of the echo to figure out the distance to their prey. Likewise, IBEX detects solar-wind particles that have bounced back from the edges of the solar system, allowing Reisenfeld and his colleagues to determine the distances involved by measuring how long their round trip took.
Tumblr media
"The sun will send out a pulse … and then we passively wait for a return signal from the outer heliosphere, and we use that time delay to determine where the outer heliosphere must be," Reisenfeld explained.
As the sun circles the outer rim of the Milky Way, the solar wind keeps cosmic radiation at bay, forming a protective bubble. This is good for us, since "that radiation can damage spacecraft and it can be a health hazard for astronauts," Reisenfeld said.

Ok I’m sorry to ask because I know you’ve said you have a bigger work load now, but is there any way we can get some head cannons for your dragon Monty? I’ve only known him for 3 seconds but he’s my new beloved.
- Dragon Monty is a total thug.
- He’s the scourge of your father’s kingdom, a cantankerous beast with an explosive temper and a penchant for bullying innocent denizens into giving him their hard earned gold, livestock or other such essentials.
- He’ll often threaten to burn down the kingdom if he doesn’t get his way. And yet, in all the years he’s plagued the land, he’s never actually carried out on his threats. So far as the people know, he hasn’t actually hurt anyone, although he insists he definitely has.
- Freddy Fazbear is the captain of your royal guard, and he’s your most trusted friend.
- For your part, you despise the wretched dragon who terrorises your people.
- One night, a couple of thieves steal their way into the castle and take you for a ransom.
- They flee under the cover of darkness, making for the mountains in the hopes that the fearsome dragon will deter anyone from following.
- Monty smells the intruders in his territory and rushes to confront them. He doesn’t expect to stumble into a camp whereupon he finds a pair of thieves in the process of removing the local royal’s regalia.
- His eyes land on you, tears streaming down your face and your arms littered with rope burns and the beginnings of bruises from your rough treatment.
- His temper rages. Your home is in his territory. And everything in his territory belongs to him.
- His stomach is lined with Boric acid, which turns his fire a brilliant, sickly green when it erupts from between his teeth.
- Predictably, the thieves flee, leaving you tied on your stomach, half clothed and petrified.
- Monty scrutinises you for a moment, weighing up how he’s going to play this.
- Eventually though, with a dramatic roll of his eyes, he gathers you between his teeth and flies you back to his cave, nestled beside an alpine lake.
- He’s never taken a royal before, so he’s a little embarrassed by the state of his home. With nowhere clean to put you, he deposits you gingerly on top of his treasure pile.
- He decides you look rather pretty perched up there on all those gemstones and coins.
- You daren’t say a word in case you set him off. You know of the dragon’s irascible nature.
- So it comes as a surprise when he suddenly offers you some undamaged clothes from his horde.
- You squeak out a tight ‘thank you’ that seems to catch Monty off guard. He glances around, as if there’s some other monstrous dragon you’re talking to, before he tentatively replies, ‘you’re… welcome?’ It’s like he’s never said those words before in his life.
- He still has a reputation to maintain though, so he puffs himself up and demands to know why you were in his territory, yet he almost immediately loses his bluster when you break down into sobs and hide your face in your hands.
- Well now he just feels bad. He’s not the smartest dragon in the world, but he knows what those thieves had almost done to you.
Clueless for how to calm you down, he decides to do what he does best. He acts tough. “Hey, you don’t gotta worry about those creeps no more! They wouldn’t dare come back now they know Montgomery D. Gon’s got their scent!”
- A strange noise drifts out between your fingers, so seldom heard by the dragon that he doesn’t immediately recognise it. When he does, he’s surprised. It’s a tiny, wet but unmistakable laugh.
- He’s… never made anyone laugh before…
- Monty would rather chew off his own wings than admit to himself or anyone else that he’s lonely.
- He realises he wants you to stick around. Which is a problem for you, since you’d much rather go home.
- That same night, after Monty finally falls asleep curled around you and his treasure pile, you make a run for it. You have no idea just how possessive a lonely dragon will turn out to be.
