    “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…”

  7. Press Release: Rising #Emissions, Depleting #Water and Vanishing #Land—UN Scientists: #AI Is Threatening #NaturalResources for Billions

    By 2030, AI's water use will match the needs of 1.3 billion people while its power use triples that of 650 million, UN University investigation warns

    Date Published
    3 Jun 2026

    Excerpt: "Inference, efficiency, and the rebound effect

    "Public discussion has largely focused on the energy required to train massive models. Training GPT-3 was estimated to require 1.3 gigawatt-hours (GWh) of electricity, while estimates suggest GPT-4 consumed between 50 and 70 GWh. However, the report reveals this framing is outdated. Once a model is deployed, inference—the continuous running of models to answer everyday user prompts—becomes the dominant cost, accounting for 80 to 90 per cent of total #AI energy use. ChatGPT alone is estimated to process around 2.5 billion prompts per day, translating to roughly 383 GWh of electricity per year for a single product. Offsetting associated carbon emissions would require 2.6 million tree seedlings grown for 10 years, enough trees to cover a land area the size of Manhattan. The water footprint is equivalent to the minimum annual domestic water needs of roughly 500,000 people in Sub-Saharan Africa, and the land footprint is equal to over 800 football fields."

  8. Upcoming #lecture talk at #UVIC.

    From #Forests Frayed to Forests Renewed.
    April 16, 2026.

    Join us April 16, 2026 at the University of Victoria for a thought-provoking talk with keynote speaker Ben Parfitt as he explores, Forests Frayed to Forests Renewed: The Case for Rezoning BC’s Public Lands.

    Ben has covered #forestry and natural resource issues in #BritishColumbia since the 1980s both as a journalist and in his previous role as senior public policy analyst with the now-closed Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives, BC Office. He is currently a reporter with The Tyee where he covers the forestry and oil and gas industries, among others, and their impacts on critical natural resources like water.

    In his talk, Ben will explain the consequences of today’s outdated land use policies and outline how rezoning BC’s public lands can set us on a more desirable course by conserving at-risk primary forests, restore lands scarred by industrialization and support jobs in a refocused, value-oriented forest industry.

    Whether you’re an activist, policy maker or someone passionate about environmental preservation this is a talk you won’t want to miss.

  9. Challenges In Comparing National Forest Statistics - Canada As A Case Study

    H/T Michael Wulder |Senior Research Scientist at Natural Resources Canada
    “Canada is a forest nation. Its forests are spatially extensive, ecologically diverse, and of global importance. While national level forest statistics are used for international reporting and comparison, they often fail to reflect the distinctive structure and stewardship context of Canada’s forest estate, which includes millions of hectares of remote, unmanaged forests alongside actively managed zones governed by provincial and territorial stewardship frameworks...”

  10. While the exact dollar figure & logistics of any payment are unclear, #US ofcls, including #WhiteHouse aides, have discussed figures ranging from $10,000 to $100,000 per person, said 2 of the sources, who requested anonymity to discuss internal deliberations.

  11. Another option would be to make a deal on #Greenland — a sale or lease, with expanded access to #mineral rights, & #US role in #security. In the event of a crisis, “the rest of #Europe will lean on #Denmark to make some kind of arrangement with the #US,” Rahman said.

  12. Whether its gaming or grasping, European leaders face unpalatable choices. One is to stick with the unified hard line that emerged in recent days, making clear that any move on #Greenland could trigger a response by European #allies — not against #Russia or #China but, unthinkably, against the #UnitedStates.

  13. @Nonilex

    Let me very blunt here:

    I have absolutely *no* sympathy for Europe, the EU, or NATO

    Trump has been on the International stage for 15-20 years?

    Trump should be a known quantity:

    he is a profoundly disturbed, acute narcissist *and* a serial, pathological liar

    Trump's BFFs are Putin and the kleptocrats of Saudi Arabia and the rest of the Middle East

    This should be nothing new to any adult European leader

    Instead they've been playing footsy with Trump, trying to pretend that if they just let him have his way a little, he'll go away and leave them alone

    Didn't work, and Europe has no Plan B

    Time to face the reality you've all helped create

  14. Where many European leaders’ reactions to the #Venezuela raid were muted, caveated or outsourced to #legal abstractions about the #UNCharter, European leaders on Tuesday came out with uncommonly forceful rebukes about the #Trump admin’s greediness on #Greenland.

  15. “It is not as if there is an abundance of special envoys,” Dr. Olesen said. “So when one is appointed with the purpose of asserting control over #Greenland, it signals that Greenland is very much in focus at the highest level.”

  16. The appointment of a special envoy for #Greenland could put pressure on Howery, a former executive at #PayPal who is considered close to #Trump. In November, Howery dodged a question from journalists about whether the United States would ever take Greenland by #force, but he pledged cooperation.

  17. The Danish government has twice this year summoned #US diplomats to complain about reports that the United States was spying & running a covert influence campaign in #Greenland. Earlier this month, in a first for the Danish government, Denmark’s #military #intelligence said that shifts in US policy were generating new uncertainties for Denmark’s security.

  18. “We decide our future ourselves,” Nielsen said.

    Lars Lokke Rasmussen, Denmark’s foreign minister, told Danish television on Monday that he was “deeply upset” by Trump’s announcement & that he planned to summon Ken Howery, who became the American ambassador to #Denmark in October.

  19. “You cannot annex other countries,” #Denmark PM Mette Frederiksen & #Greenland PM Jens-Frederik Nielsen said in a joint statement on Monday. “Not even by invoking international security. Greenland belongs to the Greenlanders, & the #UnitedStates must not take over Greenland.”

    Nielsen added in a statement on FB that the appointment “may sound big,” but “doesn’t change anything for us at home.”

  20. It appeared to be the first time the #US had appointed a special envoy to #Greenland. That gives the territory — a gigantic frozen island inhabited by fewer than 60,000 people — something in common with the war in #Ukraine, the conflicts in the #MiddleEast, & a handful of other issues; #Trump has tapped someone close to him to manage all of these as priorities.

    #geopolitics #imperialism #greed #NaturalResources #ShippingLanes #ClimateChange

  21. While #Trump’s demands elicited international outrage & a rebuke from #Denmark, WH ofcls have in recent weeks taken steps to determine the financial ramifications of #Greenland becoming a #US territory, including the cost of providing government services for its 58k residents, the sources said.

    #geopolitics #USexpansionism #Greed #ShippingRoutes #NaturalResources #ClimateChange

  22. #Trump has White House studying cost of #Greenland takeover

    The WH is preparing an estimate of what it would cost the federal govt to control Greenland as a territory, acc/to 3 people with knowledge of the matter, the most concrete effort yet to turn Trump’s [#delusional, unsolicited & unwelcome] desire to acquire the Danish island into actionable #policy.

  24. Stumbled Across Lots Of Indicators Of Coal Seam Gas Drilling Pads, #Wieambilla, QLD, #Australia

    A mate moved to Wieambilla, I was checking out their new town in Google Maps – and noticed all these drilling pads in close proximity to each other.
    I have not worked as a geologist in Australia for 20+ years, so was not sure of the reason for them.
    Looks like they are related to coal seam gas (CSG) mining, aka methane - and drilled before the ready advent of horizontal / drilling drilling (or cheaper to throw in a bunch of old school wells.)
    The PhD submission linked above, although older, gave some good background.
    It is a very distinct set of features on the landscape – and brought back a lot of memories of a variety of previous professional ‘lives.’
