Before deploying the subbottom profiler for leg 2 of the seafloor mapping cruise, Wayne Baldwin, Alex Nichols, and Chuck Worley made sure the floats were sufficiently inflated. In the relatively shallow waters of Cape Cod Bay, they want the instrument towed at water's surface for the resolution of the sub seafloor geology.

USGS scientists installed a thermal imaging camera on a current USGS streamgage on the Neversink River near Claryville, New York. This equipment will help monitor surface water temperatures and can help understand the amount of groundwater contributing to surface runoff.
