2015 Franklin Extensometer Aquifer Rebound Damage
Photo of the original Franklin extensometer taken during an inspection in 2015. Recording had ended in 1995, and between 1995 and 2015, groundwater pumping rates lessened causing the aquifer to briefly recover and the land to rebound. This rebound was so significant that it caused the damage to the extensometer seen above.

USGS Scientists Inspect A Research Site in Franklin, Virginia
USGS Scientists inspect the Franklin Extensometer research site in 2015. The extensometer at Franklin had been measuring land subsidence since 1979 but had been offline since 1995 and would be brought back online the following year.

Franklin Extensometer Pipe Damage
These four photos show the damage to the decommissioned Franklin extensometer discovered in 2015 before the extensometer was recommissioned. Damage was caused by a reduction in groundwater pumping leading to land surface uplift.

Aquariums Inside a Mobile Fish Exposure Laboratory
Scientists deployed mobile fish exposure laboratories at sites in the Shenandoah River watershed, Virginia, to understand exposure and effects on fish. This photo shows the aquariums in a laboratory where fish were exposed to stream water or wastewater.
