Detailed Description

Welcome to the “I Am A..." series, a whiteboard animation video series highlighting USGS careers. The concept is to show "what society (or my mom) thinks I do" compared with "what I really do." One image captures a more whimsical representation of a "scientist" in a particular field and the second demonstrates a more accurate representation of what that professional really “looks” like at work.

This video is about a wetland ecologist (i.e. someone who studies wetland plants and animals).

Wetland Ecologist:

wetland = land with water at the surface for all or part of the year

eco- = “home”

-ology = “study of”

-ist = “person”

(i.e. “studier of perennially wet or saturated habitats”)
