With rapidly rising sea levels and drastically declining river discharge, the Changjiang Delta, near Shanghai, China, is continually evolving. Using Landsat imagery, researchers focused on tidal level fluctuations to help understand the changes to the largest uninhabited island in the estuary, Jiuduansha island.

The South American Savannas host several species, including ocelots and nutria rats. The soil is rich soil results in plantations of bananas, coffee, and other crops. Areas are cleared out for the fertile humus. The tropical Brazilian Cerrado is the largest savanna on the continent and the most threated biome from agricultural expansion.

This is a field photo of geologists from the Indiana Geological and Water Survey and Ohio Geological Survey conducting core drilling of glacial sediments. The information gained from this project aided in the development of a bedrock topography map of a buried ancient river bed.

This is a 20 foot section of a drill core collected by the Indiana Geological and Water Survey (IGWS). IGWS geologists dub these cores "golden spikes" when they are drilled deep enough to reach the underlying bedrock.

The Betsiboka River in Northern Madagascar is seen in this Landsat 9 natural color image from December 7, 2021. Extensive logging has left the land vulnerable, and iron rich soils are washed into the river, coloring it a reddish orange as it flows to the Betsiboka estuary delta.

Deforestation can happen naturally, through infestation of native beetles and extreme weather. However, people can intentionally clear forests for timber and other industries. Difference between the two can be difficult to diagnose.
