Installation of USGS streamflow gaging station 06098120 Birch Creek at Bullhead Bridge near Valier, MT.

Water-quality sampling in southwestern Wyoming. One of our hydrographers samples Pine Creek at Pinedale.

Streamgage operations at Fish Creek at Wilson will continue thanks to a new partner, Teton Conservation District, stepping forward to cooperatively fund the site.

Rain on mountain snow caused the streamflow in Dinwoody Creek to more than quintuple in 24 hours resulting in some of the highest flows recorded in the 52 years of data collection at the site. Real-time and historical data at: http://ow.ly/DLpH50An6q6

Collecting samples for sediment analysis and measuring streamflow on the Shoshone River below Willwood Dam to describe hydrology and sediment transport during high flows due to releases from Buffalo Bill Dam. Data available at: http://ow.ly/TreW50AnYML

Passive sediment sampling on Littlefield Creek

Streamflow measurement in S Fk Spread Creek, WY (13012475)

Cantilever staff plate at Muddy Creek near Hampton streamgage

Ice is off Fremont Lake, so we could head in to service the Pine Creek above Fremont Lake streamgage. Water-quality samples collected and Real-time data back on line at: http://ow.ly/FKAm50zMB91

PVC pipe of science! We installed these samplers in four locations, and they will sit in Littlefield Creek for a month to collect suspended sediment as the water flows through the pipe. More info on the project at: http://ow.ly/pRbV50zJH6Z

Photographic proof for the boss as to why it took extra time on your field run. Heading to the Blacks Fork near Millburne streamgage. Real-time data at: http://ow.ly/Kbps50zHJsz

Right tool for the job! Which ADCP (acoustic Doppler current profiler) is used at a site depends on how deep, fast, and turbid the stream is. Ensuring the most accurate data collected.

Getting ready to collect sample number 378 at Green Riv blw Green Riv. Samples collected at regular intervals over a long period of time are critical for understanding current water-quality conditions and changes.

Recent warm weather has increased flow in the North Platte River to above average for the date at the streamgage at Northgate, CO (just upstream of the WY-CO stateline). Real-time data online at: http://ow.ly/vodL50zt6YO

With ice off the Wind River near Kinnear, we headed out to make a streamflow measurement in open water. Flows were a bit higher than average for the date (35 years of record) and can be found real-time at: http://ow.ly/eSXS50zcGLF

Capitalizing on nice spring weather to visit sites and make streamflow measurements. Dinwoody Creek above Lakes was right at the 52-year average.
