After the Big Bang, our galaxy was left with a thin fog of molecules, known as the interstellar medium. New maps reveal that it’s got a lot more going on than we thought. https://www.quantamagazine.org/a-new-map-of-empty-space-challenges-a-tranquil-picture-of-the-galaxy-20261030/

Group flags 'special police' and agency-appointed officers (DCF, DRS, DSS) as mapping challenges
Members identified special police appointed by agency commissioners and positions named in carve-out statutes (DCF, DSS, DRS, gaming) as items needing statute-by-statute review to decide where they fit in the tiered framework.

Fifty years they called it a backdrop. Stable. Settled. Then someone made a better map and looked closely. The empty parts are rarely empty. We just stop looking at them.

Dane County boasts a wealth of diversion options, yet many programs remain underutilized due to coordination challenges and lack of awareness among key stakeholders.

Pathways consultant: Dane County well resourced on diversion but programs underutilized and siloed
Jessica Ireland reported national best practices and site-visit observations: Dane County has a wide range of diversion options but inconsistent screening, overlapping eligibility, and limited coordination lead to underutilization; she recommended mapping programs and convening stakeholders to build a diversion continuum.

Mapping Iowa’s Floodplain Restoration Opportunities Through Geospatial Tools
A recent webinar with PhD candidate, Kelsey Karnish of Iowa State University examines how geospatial tools can identify, prioritize, and estimate the costs of potential floodplain easements in Iowa. Agricultural conversion of native prairies, wetlands, and small streams, combined with extensive tile drainage, has altered the state's hydrology and contributed to flooding, nutrient pollution, and habitat loss. Floodplain restoration offers an opportunity to address these challenges by increasing floodwater storage, improving water quality, and restoring wildlife habitat.
