Pat Berube and Eric Moore traveled to CT to help the NY water science office retrieve some ADCPs.

In July and October, Jen Cramer and Jin-Si Over assisted USGS UAS pilots from NUSO and Fort Collins to collect pre-restoration LiDAR and thermal survey data for the Vermillion River on the Kootenai National Forest in Montana before construction begins to improve Bull Trout habitat.

USGS scientists from the Woods Hole Coastal and Marine Science Center (WHCMSC) also installed pressure sensors at four sites along the coast of Cape Cod, Massachusetts, including Sandwich Marsh tidal creek in Sandwich, Head of the Meadow Beach in Truro, Marconi Beach in Wellfleet, and Nauset Light Beach in Eastham to measure storm surge and flooding during Hurricane
