USGS dive team members Marc Blouin and Glen Black carrying an ADCP (Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler) into Lake Michigan to measure currents throughout the summer season in order to improve predictive modeling at recreational beaches and better predict E. coli concentrations in the water, therefore improve safety of swimmers.

Members of the USGS Glen Canyon Adaptive Management Working Group in Flagstaff, Ariz., monitor the Colorado River downstream of Glen Canyon Dam during the high-flow experiment of May 2008.

The USGS gages the St. John River at Fort Kent, Maine at Station 01014000. A major flood in 2008 was the highest flow measured at this station, based on record going back to the 1920s. This photo shows the International Bridge in Ft. Kent, right at the water surface of the flooded river.

A USGS hydrologist holds an electromagnetic induction borehole logging tool while the tool is calibrated. The hydrologist was participating in a USGS class on how to use electromagnetic induction geophysical methods for groundwater investigations, conducted by the USGS Office of Groundwater Branch of Geophysics in 2008.
