LiDAR image — Profile of lidar returns along a sloped forested area in Grand County, CO. (Credit: EROS Fire Science Team, Earth Resources Observation and Science Center. Public domain.)

image related to volcanoes. See description — HVO seismologist Jefferson Chang photographing agglutinate development on the fissure 8 cone from a viewpoint in Leilani Estates. (Public domain.)

Photo of flowing glacier — Annotated photo showing landslide areas of Barry Arm Fjord, Alaska. Subaerial landslides at the head of Barry Arm Fjord in southern Alaska could generate tsunamis (if they rapidly failed into the Fjord) and are therefore a potential threat to people, marine interests, and infrastructure throughout the Prince William Sound region. (Public domain.)

Photos before and after Hurricane Sandy opened a breach on Fire Island — USGS researchers have been monitoring changes in a breach in the island that occurred during Hurricane Sandy (modified from Hapke et al., 2017). (Public domain.)
