Keep fighting for the Earth, it is our only home.
Caves are a space highly at risk, and many species in them can be "canaries in the coal mine". The water in them tells the tale of the surface above: pollution, fertilizer, pesticides, microplastics, and more. Too bad wealth doesn't trickle down like pollution into ecosystems. We should really swap those two...
Why do we make tiny dungeons, with cramped maps? Real caverns meander, like twenty miles of dropped spaghetti.
And the only way to represent miles of spaghetti is a metro-map.

Fluorescent #caves could explain how life can be supported in extraterrestrial environments

"Typically, to understand the chemical makeup of a #cave, a sample is taken back to the lab. Sebree & team collect #fluorescence spectra on their expeditions... they take the information but leave the cave intact. Anna Van Der Weide is building a public inventory of fluorescence fingerprints... Jacqueline Heggen is exploring the caves as a simulated environment for #astrobiology"
Sometimes I do other things than riding! Like diving with seals and exploring caves on the beach! As much as I love the Andes mountains I also love the ocean.
Heading to the #KR10 conference to present work in this and other #caves in #Utah. #geology #earthscience #climate #paleoclimate #science

#CallforPaper
“#AnIcon. Studies in #Environmental Images” promotes a Call for paper and invites contributions, to be published in the next issue, that investigate contemporary “#caves,” whether virtual – made possible by XR technologies (VR, AR, CAVEs) – or physical, as explored by artists, designers, and creators who feel the urge to revisit the #prehistoric imagery.
Dead line: 2025-09-01.
