While we’re all talking government data — see the attached “List of Federal ArcGIS Servers and State ArcGIS Servers and County ArcGIS Servers and City ArcGIS Servers” by MappingSupport. Public-facing websites are disappearing, but that doesn’t necessarily mean the underlying data is gone. #gischat

Photos coming out of Western AK are devastating.

Hardest hit are indigenous villages off road system, many miles by air from supplies. Most built on river deltas w/ no high ground to which to escape.

Cuts to NASA/NOAA mean worse weather data. Cuts to EPA mean no grants for erosion control. Etc.

These are mostly indigenous communities in Alaska that have been slammed by the storm.

The local manager of a small airline fleet says he is the only one doing evacuations right now!

Defund FEMA and people are abandoned. Defund public media and no-one knows.

FYI, today is Indigenous Peoples Day.

My internship at Goddard Space Flight Center was focused on assessing the effects of extreme urban heat on vulnerable populations. NASA research does so much for us here on Earth — but not without funding. 🧪

A lot of comments on Mars rovers or Moon landings, but it's important to remember that the planet NASA studies most is Earth. This is less about cutting flashy things like moonwalks and more about keeping communities in the dark on climate, weather, agriculture, pollution, natural hazards, and more.

It's Ada Lovelace Day, so worth noting that the era during which coders were mainly women (starting with her machine-language explication of the Bernoulli sequence in 1843) lasted about 130 years whereas the male-dominated period has lasted less than half that long

Beautiful piece in my briefing today about our less charismatic landscapes, their history, and their advocates. What does it mean to love a swamp? ⚒️🌿🌊

FYI: the Deportation Data Project collects and posts public, anonymized U.S. government immigration enforcement datasets. #gischat #geosky #datasky

The most recent release of data covers ICE enforcement actions through late July 2025. They are actively seeking updates.

We honor the life and legacy of Dr. Jane Goodall, the pioneering conservationist, champion for wildlife, and unwavering voice for the planet.

This photo from our 2021 Annual Meeting honored her extraordinary impact. Her legacy will continue to inspire.

Only a few weeks of field season left in New England. At least the leaves are starting to change! 🍁👩🏻‍🔬🧪

Aquarium Friday! Questions of the week: How many species of shark are there? How well can turtles see? If that fish could talk, what would it say? 🦑

USDA Secretary Brooke Rollins is trying to rescind protections for nearly 59 million acres of roadless national forests, opening them to logging, mining, and road construction. That’s 30% of our entire National Forest System.

It's a beautiful day to stand with federal employees and concerned citizens fighting to fund NASA! 🌟🌏🔭 Our space program shouldn't face cuts that compromise expert knowledge, scientific advancement, and human safety.

Since I’m famous now (i.e. got 17 likes on my post of Thomas the green moray eel), I wanted to remind everyone about my favorite of Thomas’ neighbors — Garnet the spotted gar!

She lives at the Aquarium with Gardenia, Garbanzo, Garlic, and Geoff ❤️🐟
