Tethered drop-camera system used to assess coral cover. A) Camera system lowered below the vessel. B) Camera system held roughly 1–3 meters above the seabed. From the study Evaluation of Benthic Habitat Change within the National Historic Sites of Hawaiʻi’s Kona Coast.

Maps of spatial patterns of live coral cover and change by site at Puʻukoholā Heiau National Historic Site. A) Mean baseline survey of percentage of live coral cover. B) Mean resurvey of percentage of live coral. C) Percent change of live coral cover between the baseline and resurvey.

Box core sample containing polymetallic nodules from American Samoa, 2026, from the American Samoa Mapping Project.

Map depicting Valle De Lajas and Río Loco drainage, the westernmost zone of the study area. Pie charts summarizing Sr isotope mixing model results. River sediment sample locations are represented by an X, bedrock sampling locations by open circles. An infilled black rectangle shows Bahía de Guánica sediment sampling location (NS-01).

USGS scientists collect core samples from estuaries, lakes, coasts, and marine environments to study a range of physical and chemical properties preserved in sediments over time. They process and analyze these core samples in the Pacific Coastal and Marine Science Center’s Core Labs.
