Pacific pocket mouse
Once thought to be extinct, the Pacific pocket mouse (Perognathus longimembris pacificus) was rediscovered in 1993 and is currently found at three population sites along the southern California coast.

Earth as Art 2
The Earth As Art project began in the early 2000s, and its original intent remains the same: to produce images that do not look like satellite images at first glance.

Eyes on Earth Episode 54 - National Land Cover Database 2019
Eyes on Earth Episode 54 - National Land Cover Database 2019The National Land Cover Database, or NLCD, was the first and remains the most well-known set of satellite-based land cover mapping products released by EROS. It sorts the each 30-by-30-meter plot of land in the United States into a land cover class, such as cropland, pasture, high-intensity developed, deciduous forest, and the like.

Halema‘uma‘u observations — July 9, 2021
A Hawaiian Volcano Observatory geologist uses a laser rangefinder to survey points across the solidified lava lake surface in Halema‘uma‘u, at the summit of Kīlauea. No significant changes in lake surface elevation have been observed in recent weeks. USGS photo by M. Patrick taken on July 9, 2021.

Maps of Bsal risk in the U.S. comparing pre- and post- action risk
Maps of Bsal risk in the U.S. comparing pre- and post- action riskRelative risk maps of combined Bsal risk, comparing (a) pre-action risk (2010–2015), to (b) risk after implementation of surveillance and of importation restrictions on over 200 salamander species. Relative risk scores were scaled to 2010–2015. (c) Change in relative risk score per county as proportion of pre-action risk.

View of Halema‘uma‘u at Kīlauea summit - July 2 2021
View of Halema‘uma‘u at Kīlauea summit - July 2 2021A view looking north into Halema‘uma‘u on July 2, 2021. Although eruptive activity has paused at the summit of Kīlauea, HVO geologists still monitor the lava lake and summit area regularly. Lava lake surface depths remain the same over the past few weeks.
