Answer: a GPS capable of accurately measuring elevations to within 10 cm (~4 in)Answer: a GPS capable of accurately measuring elevations to within 10 cm (~4 in). In the summer of 2019, USGS organized a Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) survey of the Kīlauea summit and East Rift Zone, including both the Pu‘u ‘Ō‘ō and 2018 lower Puna lava flows.

Drilling Through the Ice at Muddy Creek
It took all of the auger flight plus a little to get through ice to the creek. Collecting sample no. 238 from Muddy Ck nr Shoshoni. Monthly samples create a data set that can be used to describe water quality during different seasons and over time.

Image of the Week - When Snowfall Takes Sides
In 2019, a December storm dropped around five inches of snow over northeast China near Baicheng. If conditions on the ground are right, a snow pattern can reveal a storm's path with remarkable detail. Landsat 8 captured this image of the area, revealing a distinct division between snow cover and clear ground.

Eyes on Earth Episode 16 – Predictive Modeling
Land cover and land use across the United States are the culmination of a complex web of interwoven factors: Climate, landscape types, and economic factors among them. Remotely-sensed data from satellites like Landsat and a variety of other sources are useful for documenting and monitoring land cover and land use.
