Putting Together Metal Enclosures for Groundwater Gage
USGS staff outfit the inside of the metal enclosures for groundwater wells. These enclosures contain data loggers, sensor, battery and telemetry equipment that transit the real-time data collected at the well.

Physical Scientist Presents Research at AGU24
Physical Scientist Andrew Collins, of the USGS New England Water Science Center, presents his research on PFAS contamination in coastal kettle lake and bog systems at AGU24. Collins uses multiscale groundwater-flow modeling to see how flow paths influence the distribution of PFAS contaminants.

40 Years Presenting Cape Cod Hydrology
USGS has studied the hydrology of Cape Cod and the Islands and demonstrated our science to the public for more than four decades. Many visitor groups from government agencies, universities, nonprofit organizations, and local communities have learned about our groundwater and surface water research in southeastern Massachusetts.
