Strawberry hedgehog cactus (Echinocereus engelmannii), Manzanar National Historic Site, 2016.

Clumps of spear-like cacti that give the park its name are scattered throughout -- occasionally in greater concentration -- within Organ Pipe Cactus National Monument, a 517-square-mile reserve that shares a border between Arizona's Yuma County and the Mexican state of Sonora. The park is the only place in the United States where the organ pipe cactus grows wild. Along with organ pipe, many other types of cacti and other desert flora native to the Yuma Desert grow in the park

The saguaro cactus, native to southern Arizona (and a bit of neighoring Mexico and California) is legendary for its uplifted "arms." But as this image, taken in the Sonoran Desert near Marana, north of Tucson, Arizona, illustrates, the plant begins as a single, stubby, cucumber-shaped shaft on which the appendages eventually appear, but not until the cactus is 70 years old or so

Spaceward Bound event in the Mojave Deser , CA (an outreach exercise) with Dr Chris McKay and Ames Education department personnel Brian Day, Barbara Bazar and a accompaning (learning for the the classroom) team of teachers will be studying side-by-side with NASA scientists who search for life in extreme environments, closely approximating what they expect to find on other planets. Why the Mojave -- an inhospitable, sun-drenched spot in the California Desert? This natural setting presents scientists with opportunities to study environments that are analogous to what explorers will find on the Moon and Mars. Teachers and scientists will perform scientific fieldwork in lunar geology, Mars astrobiology, Mars geology, and issues of temperature and solar inundation and radiation. for additional information and Outreach projects see http://quest.arc.nasa.gov/ ARC-2007-ACD07-0056-085

The 10-day multi-lateral field training exercise involves military personnel from East African Community nations, U.S.-based units and Combined Joint Task Force-Horn of Africa. The exercise will focus on crisis response, military-to-military training and humanitarian events that include medical, veterinary and engineering assistance projects.
