USGS researchers use high-resolution remote sensing data acquired from uncrewed aircraft systems (UAS) to monitor and analyze long-term hydrologic, geomorphic, and ecological dynamics in river systems.

USGS researchers and collaborators are currently studying the grazing behavior of bison in Theodore Roosevelt National Park to determine the effects of ungulates on vegetation in the park. These studies will support park managers in maintaining healthy bison herds, conserving critical habitat, and sustaining outdoor recreation.

The sixth and final webinar in the Saline Lakes Ecosystems IWAA Fall 2024 Webinar Series is on satellite observations of lake surface water dynamics. John W. Jones of the USGS Hydrologic Remote Sensing Branch introduces the surface water and wetland remote sensing component of the Integrated Water Availability Assessment.
