Ice-affected stream discharge measurement.
Hydrologic Technician, James Albrecht, from the North Platte Field Office making a measurement of discharge under ice using a Flowtracker acoustic velocity meter on a top-setting wading rod. The string going across the picture is a tagline, used for measuring distance across the channel so that he can note the location of the ice hole he is working in. T

Sunflowers blooming in the Nebraska Sandhills
During the summer of 2013, the Nebraska Sandhills exhibited a unusually significant sunflower emergence probably triggered by environmental conditions from the preceeding 2012 drought. Also, the Eastern Red Cedar is a particularly agressive invasive species which has become well established in Nebraska.

The Dismal River valley just off of Highway 83 south of Thedford, Nebr
The Dismal River valley is far from "dismal." Set in the Nebraska Sandhills, this idyllic river is relatively unaffected by humans and a popular recreational river in the state. The invasive species Eastern Red Cedar has become well established in Nebraska.

Wetlands in the Sandhills of Nebraska
Wetlands in the Nebraska Sandhills typically are at the groundwater and surface water interface. You are essentially seeing the groundwater level in the area.
