Alluvial Fan, Rocky Mountain National Park
The Alluvial Fan is a fan-shaped area of disturbance in Rocky Mountain National Park. It was created on July 15, 1982, when the earthen Lawn Lake Dam above the area gave way, flooding the Park and nearby town of Estes Park with more than 200 million gallons of water. Enormous boulders were displaced, and trees and earth were ripped from the ground.

Worn sealcoat around a storm drain.
Coal-tar-based sealcoat, a potent source of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), abrades into fine particles with time. Here, runoff containing abraded particles goes down a storm drain and is delivered to a nearby lake. Read more about coal-tar-based sealcoat and PAHs here.

Sealcoat wear indicated by bare asphalt patches
The abrasive action of car tires and snow plows causes sealcoat to wear off. Here, light-colored patches indicate where the sealcoat has worn off and the underlying asphalt shows through.

Water quality sampling on San Francisco Bay
USGS conducts water quality sampling to describe changes in water quality along the deep channel of the San Francisco Bay-Delta system. Sampling includes continuious sampling and discrete sampling. Here a water discrete water sample is collected using a Niskin sampler at sunset in north San Francisco Bay.
