"Furnace Creek, California, home of the visitor center at Death Valley National Park, will reach 122F (50C) on Wednesday, and temperatures will climb even further as the week goes on." - Bloomberg July 3, 2024

Death Valley, located in Eastern California, is a unique and extreme desert ecosystem that plays a significant role in global and regional climate and water cycles. Its vast salt flats, sand dunes, and rugged mountains influence local weather patterns and help regulate the regional climate by absorbing and reflecting solar radiation. Despite its arid environment, Death Valley supports a range of biodiversity, including endemic species adapted to its harsh conditions. This area also holds spiritual and cultural significance for indigenous peoples, who view it as a sacred landscape rich in history and tradition. However, Death Valley faces threats from climate change, mining activities, and tourism-related disturbances, which can disrupt its delicate ecosystem and biodiversity.
