Psalm for the Wild Built by Becky Chambers might satisfy that itch. It's not for everyone because it's more of an "ideas driven" story, but I found it to be a very cozy read.
I meant stuff like that discord or the rust discourse. If you aren't having luck there your best bet is probably sending cold emails to faculty that have expertise in the field you need.
I can't help with your search but I really think you should look into using Julia instead of rust. It provides excellent speed with the usability of Python and is growing in popularity among the scientific community. There are a few very good Geospatial libraries out there that you would probably find useful too.
Either way I recommend reaching out on the official language communities that tend to have more academics in them.
This is so stupid I love it
The geothermal gradient is different at different parts of the earth. You can probably bake a pizza at much shallower depths at the mid ocean ridge, near a volcano, or even at an active orogeny.
Did you try any of these and not like it? Yes -> geology
That's a fair point. It still is a misleading plot since it isn't an estimate cod population, and isn't representative of population after 1992. As you said the numbers are still bleak. I found this plot
This is kind of misleading since they closed the fishery (I think in the 90s), so the amount of cod catch would naturally plummet. The fishery did, however, need to be closed due to overfishing.
I don't think acoustic cargo bikes are super common these days. The best two options I can think of that might fit your needs are the Tern Short Haul D8 or the BikeFriday Haul-a-Day. I'm not personally familiar with either but heard great things about BikeFriday bikes (plus I'm a sucker for folding bikes).
You could also consider something like the Crust clydesdale fork. I've never used it myself but heard it's great. Only issue is that it's usually out of stock. It may seem like a lot of money for a fork but it's still cheaper than any other cargo option available, especially if you can find a cheap frame to use it on.
