    “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…”

  2. “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.”

  4. 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."
