The foot of the James River Extensometer shortly before installation, with a nearby hardhat for scale. The extensometer foot is installed at the very base of the extensometer hole, at a depth of 1280 feet in the case of the James River Extensometer. All 1280 feet of extensometer pipe gently rests on the extensometer foot.

This video covers the history of the South Florida ecosystem, from the early drainage projects in the 1880s up through current restoration projects designed to reverse the major unintended impacts to this unique ecosystem. All major restoration projects and proposed future projects are covered.

The Chesapeake Bay is one of the Nation's largest ecosystem restoration efforts, so monitoring to assess changes in condition is crucial. The USGS is monitoring the status and trends of key indicators for the health of streams and rivers in the Chesapeake Bay watershed.

Along the Atlantic Coast, a 2000+ ft deep hole has been drilled by the USGS to assess the issues of groundwater pumping, relative sea-level rise, and land subsidence. This video shows the drilling of the first extensometer to measure land subsidence in the North Atlantic Coastal Plain in 30+ years.
