EGP heat detection from the Ranger Road Fire along the KS-OK border. Darker red dots are more recent heat. Red Flag Warnings are in effect today, with Fire Weather Watches tomorrow likely to be upgraded.

A very prelim size up of the Ranger Road Fire along the OK-KS border is at least 315,000 acres, but there are some indications it’s much larger. The fire made a 60-mile run in one burn period!

How awful. I’m so sorry.

I can relate. 😣
Good luck anyway!

Protection of groundwater is no longer a “must.” Rather, companies must give “consideration” to “avoiding or minimizing” radioactive contamination.

This Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) program is funded by the National Science Foundation to create "points of entry" for students interested in research. Students apply from across the country to spend 10 weeks in Bozeman, Montana this summer (May 26, 2026 - August 1, 2026). Admitted students are paired with a faculty mentor, who serves as an advisor for a student's summer project. Each student receives a stipend ($7000 for 10 wks). Travel compensation, room, and board are also provided. Our program leverages MSU’s unique microbiology expertise, focusing specifically on microbes living with little or no oxygen (like those in the hot springs of nearby Yellowstone). Low oxygen microbes are essential to human and ecosystem health. They influence (or control) such processes as the breakdown of food in the GI tract, removal of toxins from our bodies and the environment, and production of greenhouse gases. They are also models for understanding the origins of life on this planet, and the potential for life on other planets. A key goal of our program is to recruit students from schools with limited research infrastructure. Being in Montana, a state with a vibrant Native American community, we are particularly interested in applications from students at tribal colleges. However, ANYONE with an interest in microbiology - or biology/science in general - can and should apply. If willing and able, please share/tweet/spread the word far and wide. Applications are due February 14, 2026. Full details can be found through our website http://www.montana.edu/mbi/reu/

Friends, please help spread the word about our microbiology REU program at Montana State University.

I get it. I’ve always loved them but we just moved into a wintering area in Albuquerque and I’m constantly listening, looking for, and talking about the cranes. I will miss them so much when they leave for the season.

Saying that Cultural Fire can’t achieve the fuel reduction needed is different than saying that it’s a romantic notion.
