Did you know that there is a proposed expansion of a gas pipeline that runs throughout the south, and runs through Georgia from Columbus to Augusta?
While this isn’t a “new” pipeline, expansion means tearing up neighboring land with construction equipment, larger and/or new compressor stations, and overall community disruptions. This will have impacts on the health and safety of those near the pipeline, and most-likely raise the energy bills of customers across the state of Georgia.
So yes – this is related to your power bills and to data centers.
Science for Georgia and partners have been working together to map the impact of the proposed expansion. Come learn more about what’s in the path of the pipeline, what it means for you, and how you can use our interactive map to learn more.

Monthly South River Water Testing - February
2026-02-15 10:00 - 11:00 | Everett Park, 5106 Klondike Rd, Lithonia, GA, 30038
Date: Sunday, February 15, 2026
Time: 10 am
Location: Everett Park
Address: 5106 Klondike Rd, Stonecrest, GA 30038
We will linger in the parking lot for 5-10 minutes before heading down the trail along the water to those first shoals, where we will be doing our testing and mingling etc….
At our Environmental Justice Forums/Townhalls we heard that people want to know more about what health risks from water and air are in their neighborhoods. So we have started on two approaches to that. First is the water testing project mentioned above. Adopt-A-Stream is a state program consisting of volunteers collecting data on the water sources in their neighborhoods and the area around Everett Park along the South River is not represented in this testing project. So we are getting this started, not just to gather and monitor data, but to help the community learn about water testing along the way.

GSJ: Georgia Water Wars, Pt 2 - Georgia's Groundwater
2026-02-26 19:00 - 20:30 | Manuel’s Tavern, 602 North Highland Avenue Northeast, Atlanta, GA, 30307
Georgia Water Wars—Conflicts over our most precious resource, Part 2—Groundwater
Thurs, Feb 26th, 7-8:30 pm
In-Person and Streaming
Stream it here :
Location: Manuel’s Tavern, 602 N Highland Ave NE, Atlanta, GA 30307
Featured Speaker: John Clarke
Join John Clarke for the second in our Georgia Water Wars series. Water usage is becoming a very pressing issue as Atlanta keeps growing and more data centers and cryptomines that use millions of galleons per day are built all over Georgia. We need that water for agriculture, industry and everyday public uses.
Water is the lifeblood of our planet. Throughout history to the present day, wars have been waged over this precious resource, and Georgia is no exception. The presentation will provide an overview of conflicts over groundwater resources of Georgia and adjacent South Carolina, Alabama, and Florida. This includes saltwater intrusion along the coast, the Okefenokee Swamp, groundwater contamination at the Savannah River Site, and effects of agricultural pumping on streamflow in the Chattahoochee-Flint River Basin.

If you missed part one, you can view the YouTube recording below to catch up. This talk will somewhat reference the previous talk but it will not be needed to understand.

Speaker Name: John Clarke, Retired Assistant Director, USGS Georgia Water Science Center, Atlanta, Georgia
Speaker Bio: John Clarke retired in January 2014 after a 35-year career with the USGS Georgia Water Science Center. As hydrologist and Assistant Director for Hydrologic Investigations, he authored or co-authored more than 50 papers on Georgia groundwater and twice served as president of the Georgia Ground Water Association. Notable project work included study of the potential for offsite migration of contaminants at the U.S. Department of Energy’s Savannah River Site; development of a hydrologic overview of Israel, Jordan, and Palestinian territories as part of the State Department’s ongoing peace initiative; and design and implementation of the Georgia Coastal Sound Science Initiative—a 7 ½-year, $14.5 million set of projects commissioned by the Georgia Environmental Protection Division to assess coastal area groundwater resources and address issues of salt-water intrusion and resource sustainability. John is a certified groundwater professional and received a BS Degree in Earth Sciences from the State University of New York at Brockport.

PS: This event is not child friendly, and there will be beer.
Presenting Sponsor
A special thank you to Wild Heaven Beer! They are generously providing the space for this event.

Tickets
Tickets include comedy performances. Taqueria El Tesoro is available. Cash bar available serving beer and wine.
AGES 21+ ONLY. PHOTO ID REQUIRED AT CHECK-IN.
SHOW WILL CONTAIN ADULT LANGUAGE.

Parking
Parking for this event and Wild Heaven West End is free and ample.
A quick heads up about a change happening at Lee + White, where Wild Heaven West End is located. The property management company is shifting from complimentary parking to a paid system.
For this event, you will not have to pay for parking. However, you need to engage with the new system upon arrival by starting a “parking session” at the posted signs (via the app or QR code). Wild Heaven will provide a validation code for free parking for all attendees. You will still need to register your cars in the system before validating your parking with Wild Heaven once the system is fully in place.
Looking ahead, please know that under Wild Heaven’s lease terms, neither their guests nor our event attendees will ever be charged for parking.
If you have any trouble, please see us at the check in table in the Garden Room.

Science and public research are under attack in this country. Indiscriminate cuts to federal research agencies and political interference are causing research studies to be paused, programs halted, and communications muzzled.
Join community members, representatives, researchers, healthcare providers, advocates, and allies as we speak out against these attacks. We’re demanding a return to well funded, scientifically sound, research and public health programming that is free from political interference.

Join physicists Daniel Sussman and Michael Czajkowski for an exploration of the physics of disordered solids, and answers to the questions you never knew to ask about ice cream. ​We promise the only brain freeze will come from the ice cream, not from the science! Ticket price includes ice cream following the event!

Climate Survival Training: Essential Bicycle Maintenance
Date: May 6th
Time: 6-7:30 pm
Location:
Piedmont Park Community Center
1071 Piedmont Ave NE, Atlanta, GA 30309

On May 6th at 6pm, we will have a Climate Survival Training about repairing bikes, led by Ben Kasavan from SOPO, and hosted by Piedmont Park (at their community center location next to Willy’s) (look for the bright neon PROGRAM arrows).

We will be covering basic bike maintenance and repairs that will keep your bicycle running smoothly for longer! Learn routine maintenance, such as cleaning your chain and making minor brake adjustments, and learn how to repair a flat tire! Don’t sit in traffic, plunge into the bliss of bicycles!

Benjamin first got involved with bicycles at 8 years old racing with Star Track at the Kissenna Park Velodrome in NYC. While he doesn’t race anymore, he has never stopped biking. Beyond biking around town, he has been volunteering with DIY bicycle shops since 2015 and has been a shop manager at SOPO Bicycle Cooperative since 2019. He believes that bicycling is a powerful force not only for transportation, but also for community building, resilience, and self-empowerment.
