USGS scientists visit Weather Station in Glacier National Park
USGS scientists visit Garden Wall Weather Station in Glacier National Park. This high elevation weather station, just below the Continental Divide near Logan Pass, collects weather data that is used each spring to forecast avalanche hazard for the road crew plowing Going to the Sun Road. The data is also used by USGS avalanche scientists to study the con

Scientists with the Interagency Grizzly Bear Study Team have seen the first female grizzly bear with cubs of the year for 2020 in Yellowstone National Park. The radio-collared female was seen with 3 cubs during a telemetry tracking flight on 4/10. One of the 3 cubs is hard to see between the 2 obvious siblings, but you can just make out its

Bombus occidentalis, F, Side, Utah Co., Utah
This bumblebee species has almost entirely disappeared from its West Coast range due to a recent epidemic sweeping through some bumblebee populations. However, the Rocky Mountain populations still persist and there is hope that the West Coast population will also recover and resume its place as one of the most common bumblebee species in the West.

USGS employee uses the alignment of mountains.
After hiking to the location of the historic photo, USGS employee, Lisa McKeon, uses the alignment of mountains and permanent features to compose the same shot as the original. Sometimes, determining the location can take a long time, requiring moving up and down a mountainside to find the exact spot.

Grinnell Glacier photographed from the summit of Mount Gould.
Since the beginning of the USGS Repeat Photography Project in 1997, Grinnell Glacier has been photographed from the summit of Mount Gould multiple times, documenting the glacier’s retreat and the enlargement of Upper Grinnell Lake. You can view previous images from this vantage point, as well as the entire collection on the
