In the USGS software ModelMuse, "Objects" are used to specify spatially varying data. Sometimes it is useful to be able to edit several of these objects at the same time. This video shows how.
 

This video shows how to plot of the residuals between the observed heads and the simulated heads in ModelMuse.
 

This video describes how to import Shapefiles into ModelMuse and use them to help set up a groundwater flow model.
 

This video describes how to set up quasi-3D models in ModelMuse.
 

This video shows how to to import a MODFLOW-2005 model into ModelMuse
 

This video illustrates differences among the various interpolation methods in ModelMuse.
 

This video shows how to use ModelMuse to check that streams in a MODFLOW model and linked properly.
 

Highlights of the Scientific Investigations Report 2011-5166 which documents methods of irrigation and inventories irrigation data collected for the 2000 and 2005 U.S Geological Survey.

The camera was set up to frequently take pictures of the stream during Hurricane Lee. This photography is part of a larger project by the USGS National Research Program, the Virginia Water Science Center and the Maryland Water Science Center examining sediment flow.

Difficult Run (near USGS streamgage 1645704)

This video shows a virtual fly-through of a detailed, highly accurate three-dimensional model of the lower Elwha River, Washington. The video begins about 0.8 river kilometers upstream (south) of the bridge on Elwha River Road.

B-roll footage of the Minam River near Wallowa, in eastern Oregon. Footage shot in August 2011 as part of the USGS National Water Quality Assessment Program hydrologic benchmark study.

Video footage begins with dry streambed, and within the first 10 seconds a very dark, roiling, flow comes downstream toward the viewer. The rest of the video is footage of the flow going past, and into a culvert under a bridge. The video was recorded at the U.S.

Devastating floods across much of the U.S. were severe and unrelenting during the spring and summer of 2011. When floods happen, USGS crews are among the first-responders.

Faith Fitzpatrick (U.S. Geological Survey) and Joe Berg (BioHabitats, Inc.) describe base-flow channels and sand seepage wetlands in a wetland complex at an old millpond setting along a highly urban section of Howards Branch. Recreated baseflow channels enhance changes in width with increased stormwater flow.

Faith Fitzpatrick (U.S. Geological Survey), Ronald Bowen (Anne Arundel County Department of Public Works), Kevin Smith (Maryland Department of Natural Resources), and Keith Underwood (Underwood and Assoc.) talk about recreating an Atlantic White Cedar wetland at an old millpond setting along a highly urban section of Howards Branch.

The Mekong is one of the world's great rivers cascading through six Asian countries from the Tibetan Plateau to the South China Sea, connecting China, Myanmar, Laos, Thailand, Cambodia and Vietnam. How one country uses or changes the waters of the Mekong upstream can have important implications for the health of the river and people downstream.

The 2011 Mississippi River flood was among the largest and most damaging to occur along this waterway in the past century. This major flood event dramatically increased the flow of water and sediment down the main channel of the Mississippi River and its tributary, the Atchafalaya River.
