There are good people in this world. Here are some who are trying to save the #JoshuaTree. #Restoration is not easy in the #Mojave #desert .

The stunning extreme terrain of the Mojave Desert Nevada USA, was magnificent as seen from a helicopter. The dramatic aerial view landscape with mountains, cliffs, ridges and red rock was not only hypnotic but awe inspiring!

Does anyone have accounts to follow from the Las Vegas area? I was thinking I would do a #FollowFriday post about all the accounts I follow from the area and I realized it's like 1 person and a bunch of brand/org accounts:
@alliecat - transportation activist in Las Vegas
@lasvegasdsa - local DSA chapter
@lasvegaslocally - local news blog
@vegasissues - humorous local stuff
@cityoflasvegas - city account replicated from Twitter

So, about the new round of #USGS #Mendehall #Postdoc #Fellowship opportunities…
The #MojaveDesert has a long history of #mining (see, for example, http://www.desertsymposium.org/publications/2023_Mines_of_the_Mojave.pdf). From 19th century mule teams hauling boron, to the uranium boom of the 1950’s, to modern mining operations like the Mountain Pass #RareEarthElements #mine, the #Mojave has been in the middle. If you’ve ever dreamed of being a part of that history then do we have the opportunity for you!
The need for #CriticalMinerals, like #lithium or #RareEarth #minerals for use in gadgets and as part of the transition to clean energy has never been greater. Mendenhall Opportunity 22-13, “Constraining the geologic and tectonic conditions of critical element mineralization in the Mojave Desert, California” (https://www.usgs.gov/centers/mendenhall-research-fellowship-program/22-13-constraining-geologic-and-tectonic-conditions), seeks a #postdoc to apply #GeologicMapping, #geochemistry, and #geochronology to better characterize critical minerals systems in the Mojave. The application window opens 1 September and closes on 1 November.

Behind paywall.
The #yorkfire is the largest to burn through the eastern #Mojave in recorded history, surpassing the 71,000-acre #Hackberry complex fire of 2005 and searing through a delicate #ecosystem already strained by #invasive #species and the #burning of #fossilfuels.

As Joshua trees burn, massive wildfire threatens to forever alter Mojave Desert
“We’ve lost a huge area of native vegetation. A lot of pinyon pines, junipers gone forever, and a lot of the Joshua trees, likely.”

Wildfire in Mojave Desert destroys iconic Joshua trees

A fierce wildfire has ripped through California’s Mojave Desert, leaving a trail of destruction in its wake. The fire has claimed over 80,000 acres, including parts of Caruthers Canyon, known for its diverse ecosystem.

Feuer in der Mojave-Wüste: Joshua-Bäume stehen in Flammen
Auf eine Fläche von 312 Quadratkilometern tobt in der Mojave-Wüste das diesjährig bisher größte Feuer im US-Bundesstaat Kalifornien. Auch die berühmten Joshua-Bäumen brennen. Laut Experten könnten sie Jahrhunderte brauchen, um nachzuwachsen.
California's biggest wildfire so far this year is in the Mojave. That's an area which used to only see fire very rarely; spacing between plants meant that you'd see lightning light one on fire, but it wouldn't spread.
Introduced gasses and mustard have changed that, as they now provide fuel between the larger plants, allowing fires to spread in places where they historically wouldn't. Add hot dry winds and you get #wildfires

Time to upgrade the system or even the hardware 😉

Spent the last 3 weeks living in the woods. Plotting. And also turning 50.
(that last part kinda happened on its own)
