Part 2 of our series on the R/V Arcticus construction covers the frame and fuel tank completion.

Time-lapse Microgravity Monitoring of Artificial Recharge
This video shows a series of clips collected in 2013 during the SAVSARP gravity experiment.

This webinar, "Historical Trends in Summer Precipitation, Baseflows, and Stormflows in New England and Projections of Seasonal Streamflows for Coastal Streams in Maine", was conducted by Rob Dudley and Glenn Hodgkins as a part of the USGS National Climate Change and Wildlife Science Center's Climate Change Science and Management Webinar Series.

In this video we briefly discuss the removal of the Great Works Dam on the Penobscot River in Maine. We also highlight some work the USGS is doing to document river conditions before and after dam removal.

In 1986, Congress directed the USGS to regularly report groundwater-level changes in the High Plains aquifer system. To comply with this directive, the USGS compares water levels measured every two years. By measuring water levels across the entire aquifer in one year, measurements made two years later enable calculation of changes over time.

In this video we visit a USGS gaging station on the Carrabassett River near North Anson, Maine, station 01047000. We briefly discuss the manned cableway at the site and highlight some features of the gaging station itself.

TESNAR stands for the Technical training in Support of Native American Relations, and is a program run by the USGS to foster cooperation between tribes and the USGS by providing them with the tools and training to manage their tribal resources, such as water.

A series of time-lapse photographs capture rapid water-level fluctuations in the vicinity of Wildwood Islands in the Sheboygan River, 4.4 km upstream of Lake Michigan near Sheboygan, Wis. The fluctuations are caused the interaction of seiche-related oscillations from Lake Michigan with river flows. 
 

How-to video on installing USGS Shoreline Management Tool.

The Shoreline Management Tool is a GIS-based application used to assess how changes in water depth can affect an area. This includes identifying areas that may flood when water reaches a certain level or estimating how much water is available at any given time.

Using a simulated population to evaluate survey design and analysis: a case study with Great Lakes fish.

USGS employee, Hanna Coy, talks about stream gauging.

As a USGS hydrologist, Anthony Lopez is currently working on two projects. The first project consists of assessing toxicity of the sediment in Barnegat Bay. For this project, Anthony samples the bay and its tributaries for any pesticides, pharmaceuticals, medals or any other anthropogenic contaminants.
