This timelapse sequence shows the water pond in Halema‘uma‘u Crater, at Kīlauea's summit, between November 1, 2019, and March 26, 2020. Over this time the water level rose approximately 14 meters (46 feet), equivalent to 67 cm (about 2 feet) per week. The timelapse shows one image per day (with a few cloudy images removed), and is looped several times.

It’s easy enough to measure rainfall, and nearly as easy to measure streamflow. Calculating the efficiency of water use through the metric of evapotranspiration (ET) – evaporation off the Earth’s surface and transpiration from the leaves of plants – is a far trickier proposal.

This video demonstrates a simulation of how storms can impact sandy coastlines through processes such as erosion. This demonstration is conducted at outreach events by scientists at the St. Petersburg Coastal and Marine Science Center. The activity can also be re-created at home or in the classroom.

Hats off to the tireless efforts of WYDOT and county crews for all the plowing to get roads open so we can do our jobs.

Drilling holes to collect samples for water-quality analyses at Green River nr LaBarge was made extra challenging by a temperature of -10F. It takes a lot of planning and quick action to collect and process the sample before equipment and water freeze.

The stream at this site is free flowing under the ice, so the relation between stream stage and streamflow works like it does in the summer (or other non-ice months). Real-time flow and stage for Dinwoody Creek abv Lakes online: http://ow.ly/a0L850yr2Nb
