As president of the U.S. Geological Survey's Veterans Employee Resource Group, one of my mandates is outreach to veterans and those still serving and encouraging them to consider joining us at the USGS. The last data set shows that only 12.61% (946) of the USGS employees are veterans, while I know thousands of veterans are transitioning yearly. On the surface, USGS jobs appear to be only scientific and exclude most military-learned disciplines, but that could not be further from the truth! Many military jobs transfer well to the Survey. Some of these jobs include: IT, Admin, Safety, Sensor Technicians, Communications, Emergency Management, Water Technicians, Industrial Hygiene, Operations, Unmanned Arial Vehicles, Maintenance Techs, and much more that support the science. https://www.usgs.gov/ The USGS (United States Geological Survey) is a science bureau within the United States Department of the Interior. The USGS provides science about the natural hazards that threaten lives and livelihoods; the water, energy, minerals, and other natural resources we rely on; the health of our ecosystems and environment; and the impacts of climate and land-use change. Our scientists develop new methods and tools to enable timely, relevant, and useful information about the Earth and its processes. I love educating anyone about what we do in the USGS so feel free to contact me. #usgs #usmilitary #veterans #army #navy #airforce #marines #coastguard
Using over 60 years of continuous oceanic data, NCEI and partner scientists have published a study in the journal, Frontiers in Marine Science, to discover if a critical oceanic element of the climate system is in trouble.

Did You Know? On June 28, 1919, the Treaty of Versailles was signed, formally ending World War I. This landmark treaty not only reshaped the geopolitical landscape but also had profound economic implications, including on the energy sector. The redrawing of borders and reparation demands significantly influenced energy policies and resource distribution across Europe and beyond. The treaty's effects were far-reaching, impacting industrial production and energy resource management, which in turn influenced global economic dynamics for decades to come. #History #EnergySector #WorldWarI #TreatyOfVersailles #Geopolitics #EconomicImpact #HTS
The #ArcticCouncil, founded in 1996 by Russia, USA, Iceland, Norway, Finland, Sweden, Greenland, and Canada, serves as an intergovernmental organization promoting collaboration and joint research in the Arctic. It has signed three binding treaties: Aviation and Maritime Search and Rescue (2011), Marine Oil Pollution Preparedness and Response (2013), and International Arctic Scientific Cooperation (2017). Despite the #UkraineCrisis impacting cooperation with #Russia, the Council remains pivotal for addressing Arctic challenges.

The need for a long-term Arctic Strategy is clear and it must leverage investments in the economy & security. We also need the ability to have presence which is why I believe new diesel submarines with AIP are key. https://lnkd.in/g_pwrfX2

We are excited to announce that Senator Lisa Murkowski, Alaska's senior U.S. Senator and a staunch advocate for Arctic priorities, will be joining our Big Picture panel discussion "Global Actions - Arctic Reactions". As the first Alaskan-born senator with nearly two decades of dedicated service, Senator Murkowski has been a force for bipartisan collaboration and common-sense solutions in the Senate. Her relentless efforts to prioritize the Arctic as a national concern have earned her respect across party lines. Leading the charge to bolster America's presence in the Arctic, Senator Murkowski is pushing for critical investments in infrastructure and assets, and her legislation underscores the importance of responsible research and development while amplifying the voices of those living in the Arctic on policy and research matters. The panel discussion will delve into the cross-border actions necessary to tackle Arctic-related challenges. Focused on global mechanisms impacting security, logistics, and infrastructure, the session aims to underscore the profound influence of global actions on the Arctic region. How can global cooperation be enhanced to address challenges affecting Arctic development? From security to infrastructure and climate risks, how can we strategically utilize the positive momentum from the recent Arctic Council Chairship amid ongoing global uncertainties?
