USGS on the Road - Measuring Icy Rivers

USGS is committed to monitoring water quality and quantity in all conditions, and sometimes that means walking out onto frozen rivers to make a measurement. In this episode, we join a team as they cut through the ice to safely access the water that still flows underneath.

USGS On the Road - Sampling in the Dark

Are you afraid of the dark?

Not this scientist. He is using a special technique to examine sediment samples that can help scientists study historical hurricanes.

USGS On the Road — Choptank River Water Quality Sampling

On a fair sunny day in March, hydrologic technician Michael Brownley makes his way up the metal rung ladder to a platform. From there he beards a cableway, no bigger than a twin-sized bed. Luckily, he’s the only one aboard the cableway, space is tight as it is.
