Viewing an Otolith Under a Microscope
Lynn Ogilvie, a USGS biological science technician, adjusts an otolith under a microscope. Photographs of otoliths are taken using a camera mounted on top of the microscope and a video feed on the computer. Notice the magnified otolith on the screen in the background. This photo was taken in 2018, prior to the COVID-19 pandemic.

A view into the center of Pu‘u ‘Ō‘ō. Collapses on thA view into the center of Pu‘u ‘Ō‘ō. Collapses on the crater walls have enlarged sections of the crater and filled the bottom of the crater with rockfall debris. The deepest portion of the crater is about 286 m (938 ft) below the crater floor that existed prior to the collapse on April 30, 2018. Steam rises from the loose rock on the crater floor.

Image of the Week - Letters to the North Pole
Unlike the South Pole, the geographic North Pole does not lie on a land mass. The Earth’s northern axis of rotation is in the Arctic Ocean, covered by shifting sea ice.
Landsat does not image the North Pole, which makes it an imperfect investigative tool for the detection of Santa’s workshop.

Earth As Art 5
In the 5th edition of Earth as Art, we continue to display the Earth as our eyes cannot see it—in creative combinations of visible and infrared light.
These unreal views of farmland, coastlines, and snowscapes remind us of the powerfully artistic qualities of Earth’s land features.

Aquatic Ecosystem Vulnerability to Fire and Climate Change
Aquatic Ecosystem Vulnerability to Fire and Climate ChangeFire is the dominant ecological disturbance process in boreal forests (coniferous forests consisting mostly of pines, spruces, and larches) and fire frequency, size and severity are increasing in Alaska owing to climate warming.

Equipment check at Pu‘u ‘Ō‘ō
On May 7, 2019, field crews visited a telemetry hub on the rim of Pu‘u ‘Ō‘ō to assess damage after a small collapse on May 1. During the overflight, photos and observations were made of the Pu‘u ‘Ō‘ō crater. The crater walls expose a clear sequence of lava flows and cinder that built the cone in the early 1980s. USGS image by F. Younger.
