Energy stability or a 'climate bomb'? The arguments around Beetaloo
By Matt Garrick

The Northern Territory government says it "stared down the hypocrites" to get gas flowing from the Beetaloo Sub-Basin. But will the project be the economic game changer that's been promised?

The shadow of the United States lengthens over southern Greenland: ‘We are going to lose our homes’.

Donald Trump’s interest in controlling the vast Danish island and exploiting its natural resources worries the population.

There are numerous hurdles, including strong opposition in #Venezuela to ceding #control of #NaturalResources to the #US. Revisions to the Venezuelan #constitution may be required before any such deal is finalized, & the prospects of that happening are uncertain amid US antipathy.

“A first for STATEMAP. 🗺️
For the first time, a geologic map funded through the STATEMAP component of the National Cooperative Geologic Mapping Program was published in direct response to a Tribal Nation’s science needs.
The Utah Geological Survey, in collaboration with the Navajo Nation, recently published the geologic map of the Oljeto 7.5-minute quadrangle in southeastern Utah.
STATEMAP plays a critical role nationwide by matching federal funds with state geological surveys to produce high-priority geologic maps that address societal needs, from infrastructure planning and responsible land use to natural hazard mitigation and groundwater resource management.
Geologic maps provide a foundational framework for understanding Earth’s resources and processes. Detailed mapping gives resource managers and other stakeholders the scientific information they need to make informed decisions about the land and resources they manage.
For the Oljeto quadrangle, the mapping work supports Navajo Nation science needs by helping better understand the relationship between regional geology and groundwater resources.
This collaboration demonstrates the value of STATEMAP in supporting high-priority mapping needs and building partnerships between state geological surveys and Tribal Nations…”

“Funded through the STATEMAP component of the National Cooperative Geologic Mapping Program (NCGMP), this geologic mapping work supports Navajo Nation needs to better understand the relationship between regional geology and groundwater supply.
An outcome of the geologic partnership between the Utah Geological Survey and the Navajo Nation, the benchmark Oljeto 7.5' quadrangle map is the first-ever publication funded under the STATEMAP component of the NCGMP in direct response to Tribal Nation science needs. This collaboration demonstrates a proven model for STATEMAP partners conducting geologic mapping work in areas of Tribal Nation interest…”

“There were elders who started to get sores in their mouths because of the pesticides. We use our mouths to help in basket weaving,” Young says.

“And then if you’re cooking in these baskets and the material has been sprayed, then people can be ingesting it.”

Woodside oil spill plan under fire as approval decision nears
By Alistair Bates

With final advice due by the end of the year, critics point to Woodside's own modelling to sink the $30 billion gas project.

📰 NC Coastal Habitat Protection Plan Update Begins

🌊 North Carolina environmental officials have started updating the state's Coastal Habitat Protection Plan (CHPP), a long-term strategy focused on protecting coastal habitats that support fisheries, water quality, and the seafood industry.

🌿 The 2026 update is centered on three priorities: ecosystem-based habitat management, seagrass protection and restoration, and planning for long-term wetland changes along the coast.

🤝 State agencies and stakeholders are helping develop draft recommendations that will eventually be released for public review, shaping future coastal conservation and resource management efforts.

It feels surreal that our democratically elected Prime Minister has to say that #Denmark is ready to defend itself against an ally. Right now, the #US feels like a bigger threat to Denmark than Russia.

💁🏻‍♀️ TIL: 🦭🚧 Neil, a 1,000 kg southern elephant #seal in #Tasmania, crushes traffic cones and barriers each year during molting season, rubbing against them to shed his coat.

Wildlife experts from Tasmania’s Department of #NaturalResources and #Environment say it’s not mischief but instinct. As Neil matures, officials warn he may become more territorial, urging fans to keep 20 m away.

Dinner is served. The map is the plate, the oil is the feast, and the international oil companies have already taken their seats at the table, forks in hand. Who picks up the tab? The Venezuelan people.
