Rivers are Life began with the concept that like-minded businesses, educational institutions, non-governmental organizations and collaborators could come together to be the collective voice for rivers and help move the needle for river sustainability. We are proud to be working with some genuinely world-changing partners like Louisiana State University Center of River Studies, who make our community possible.

Presenting research at the AEHS West 33rd Annual International Conference on Soil, Water, and Air is an exhilarating opportunity, particularly when it involves groundbreaking work on a topic as critical as the impact of warfare on environmental health. This year, we have the privilege to share our study on the issue of heavy metal soil contamination on Iwo Jima's Invasion Beach, a site of immense historical significance from WWII, renowned for its distinctive black volcanic sand. Our research delves into a largely unexplored area, despite the beach's popularity and the common practice of collecting its sand as war mementos. The core of our investigation focuses on examining the heavy metal composition of the sand and debris through XRF analysis, a technique that promises to shed light on the potential contamination risks these souvenirs may pose. Through a detailed review of existing scientific literature on volcanic sands and the analysis of soil samples from areas affected by war, we aim to provide a thorough understanding of how warfare can leave a lasting mark on soil quality and contribute to contamination. Our study is not just a scientific inquiry; it's a call to action. We underscore the critical need for adopting sustainable and accurate armaments to reduce the ecological impact of warfare. While it may seem a distant goal to eliminate warfare entirely, minimizing its environmental consequences is an urgent and achievable aim. The contemporary context of ongoing conflicts, such as those in Ukraine and Gaza, makes our research not only relevant but vital. We advocate for further exploration into sustainable alternatives, like biodegradable ammunition, to foster environmentally responsible warfare practices. In conclusion, our presentation at the AEHS conference is not merely a dissemination of our findings but a message of the imperative to understand and mitigate the impacts of warfare on soil contamination. It's an exciting platform to highlight the necessity of sustainable practices in preserving our planet for future generations, making this opportunity not only thrilling but deeply meaningful.

The future of critical infrastructure cybersecurity (especially in rural water) will require the standards, processes, and experience of local government IT professionals to apply the same to operational technology (OT) in their facilities. Joseph, Paul, and I will be speaking about the intersectionality of government IT organizations and operational critical infrastructure within their community at this event. Let's protect these systems together. #digitalwater#OTsecurity#cybersecurity

The State of Utah was ranked as the #1 BEST STATE in the nation for the second year in a row by U.S. News & World Report! City of Cedar City, UT, Iron County and Southern Utah epitomize all that makes Utah so great! Here's just a few highlights that make living and working in Cedar City, Utah so amazing: - #1 small city in the nation to start a business by WalletHub. - #3 fastest-growing college town in America by Broke Scholar, with a D1 school like Southern Utah University and an incredible tech school like Southwest Technical College. - Home to the Tony Award winning and globally recognized Utah Shakespeare Festival. - Did I mention that Cedar City is also known as "Festival City USA"? - Plus, we are considered the "Gateway to the Parks." We're talking about places like Zion National Park, Bryce Canyon National Park, and so much more that mother nature has to offer, like... - 30 minute drive to Brian Head Resort and skiing some the greatest snow on earth! - ....oh, and don't worry about air quality in Southern Utah because our neighbors in the City of St. George were ranked #9 in the nation for air quality by the American Lung Association! Yeah...we're jumping on that bandwagon ;) Reach out if you want to learn more about what makes Utah so great!
