AGI Critical Issues

We're moving! @AGI_GeoIssues will be moving all our tweets to @AGI_Updates and @AGI_Policy by January 1st. #MapOfTheDay and our other content won't be going away, never fear! Please follow them and we'll see you there!

#MapOfTheDay! Not a map today, but a nice visualization: Our modern lives depend on mined (and recycled!) resources. See what minerals are in everyday objects with @USGS's visualization: bit.ly/1XbWRsS.

Flash! Bang! Twinkle! Fireworks turn mineral resources into beautiful explosions. If you're interested in the materials behind the magic, check out our #FAQ at bit.ly/299bVFG

#MapOfTheDay! This interactive map of water wells in South Dakota is full of accessible well data: bit.ly/2rZfDes #SD #opendata

The @USGS will hold the webinar "USGS Library Materials for Earth's Age" on January 17 from 2-3:30pm EST. The USGS Library provides reference services & instructional sessions to users on finding print, digital, & online library materials. Register here: bit.ly/2z4aiVr

#MapOfTheDay! Check out @EIAgov 's data-rich interactive map of #energy #infrastructure and resources -power plants, oil and gas, biomass, geothermal, solar, wind, and much more! bit.ly/1LSoCl9

Congratulations to our 2016-2017 President Jean Bahr on her 2017 Ambassador Award from @theAGU! Read her citation on @AGU_Eos: eos.org/agu-news/bahr-… cc: @UWMadScience @uwgeoscience

#MapOfTheDay! Check out this cool visualization from @USGS that shows the many kinds of freshwater use by state: bit.ly/2kkakoB #water

Become directly involved in #sciencepolicy! Apply for AGU's Congressional Science Fellowship at csf.agu.org! Work on Capitol Hill for a year! #BeAFellow!

#MapOfTheDay is a visualization today! Do you know how many burritos-worth of energy you use each year? This fun visualization from @ENERGY shows average per person energy use for each state in the U.S.: bit.ly/1f7QqGJ

#MapOfTheDay! This fascinating visualization from @USGS shows you how global air temperatures have changed since 1850 -and how they may change in the future! bit.ly/1PeU7X1

#MapOfTheDay! On our last day of tweeting from this account, a crowd favorite: the interactive map of #volcanoes & current volcanic activity alerts from @USGS! bit.ly/1Fr07sC (Don't forget to follow @AGI_Updates and @AGI_Policy to keep up with us!)
