Hawai'i Abyssal Nodules Expedition
In Fall 2025 the Hawaiʻi Abyssal Nodules and Associated Ecosystems Expedition, led by USGS scientists, will investigate the geology, minerals, and environmental setting of the deep seabed offshore Moku o Keawe (Hawaiʻi Island) in the U.S. Exclusive Economic Zone. This work is part of ongoing collaborative efforts with BOEM and NOAA.

USGS Coastal and Marine Field Operations
To conduct the science needed to understand coastal and marine geohazards, support habitat and resource management, and monitor how these environments change over time, the USGS Coastal and Marine Hazards and Resources Program relies on engineering, mechanical, and electronics expertise for field operations along the coast, in the nearshore environment, and in the d

Eyes on Earth Episode 120 – Mapping the California Coastline
Eyes on Earth Episode 120 – Mapping the California CoastlineIn this episode of Eyes on Earth, we begin a series on Landsat’s usefulness in coastal studies. First, we talk with Sean Vitousek, a USGS research oceanographer, about changes to beaches in California and how he is using Landsat and other data to create models that can predict how the coastline may change in the future because of sea level rise and coastal erosion.

Nuvuk video camera 2 dark image
Two video cameras are installed atop a utility pole near the northernmost point of land in the United States at Nuvuk (Point Barrow), Alaska. The cameras point northwest toward the Arctic Ocean and the boundary between the Chukchi and Beaufort Seas. Every half hour during daylight hours, the cameras collect snapshots and video for 10 minutes.
