🦇✨ #BatWeek Spotlight ✨🦇 During the Gold Rush, miners created a landscape filled with mines. While these sites were once used for extracting California’s rich resources, they’re now critical habitats for many of our bats! 🦇 These man-made “caves” are an unexpected sanctuary, providing a safe haven for bats across the state. To protect both the bats and public safety, CalConservation and partners have installed unique structures, like bat gates and cupolas, that allow bats to come and go freely while keeping people out of these abandoned mines. Every gate or cupola helps secure vital bat habitats and keeps humans safe! #CalConservation #BatWeek #CaliforniaBats #WildlifeHabitat #MineSafety California Natural Resources Agency Bat Conservation International Bureau of Land Management U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) National Park Service

#Shakemap #Earthquakes #CISN Shakemaps are generated by California Integrated Seismic Network partners after earthquakes of magnitude 3.5 and greater. These maps are very important to understand the general distribution and intensity of shaking, and potential for damages after an earthquake. Happy to present mapping that depicts cumulative shaking related to magnitude 4.0 and greater earthquakes over the last 42 years.

We're celebrating a significant milestone – and a historic moment of healing and justice -- as 320 acres of #ancestralland have been returned to the Agua Caliente Band of Cahuilla Indians, bringing the total restored to 600 acres this year! This land return is a powerful example of collaboration between the State of California and the tribe, highlighting a shared commitment to environmental stewardship and the recognition of the tribe's deep historical connection to the land. The restoration of these ancestral lands also strengthens efforts to protect and conserve vital cultural and natural resources in the Coachella Valley. This transfer is part of California’s broader initiative to correct historical injustices against Native American tribes, aligning with the state’s #30x30CA initiative to protect 30% of lands by 2030. #LandBack

📣Attention, geology enthusiasts! In celebration of #GeologicMapDay, explore our Unified Geologic Map of the Moon! 🌒 Created by the USGS Astrogeology Science Center, in collaboration with NASA - National Aeronautics and Space Administration and the Lunar and Planetary Institute, this first-ever comprehensive map reveals the moon’s entire surface geology, combining Apollo-era data with recent satellite missions. Not only does it show the 4.5-billion-year history of our lunar neighbor, but it’s also a key tool for future human missions and an invaluable resource for scientists, educators, and space enthusiasts. Download the entire map and legend here: https://ow.ly/YMUw50TOTY1 #EarthScienceWeek #NASA #MoonMap #GeologicMap #Apollo #LunarScience #SpaceExploration #Geology 📹: This animation shows a rotating globe of the new Unified Geologic Map of the Moon with shaded topography from the Lunar Orbiter Laser Altimeter (LOLA).

California’s climate driven extremes mean more unpredictable weather events. We can go from multi-year droughts to record-setting rains. If water comes rushing to your door, do you have a plan? You can find more information on how to prepare for flood at https://lnkd.in/eMyTqYNR #CAFloodPrepWeek #AreYouPrepared? California Department of Water Resources

A fantastic event we were excited to be a part of! Thank you!
