Dropping the Wire Weight
The wire weight was dropped from this bridge to measure the stream stage of the Blacks Fork River near Lyman, Wyoming. Even with an early start, it is a struggle to get work done before an afternoon storm rolls in.

Four Examples of Nest Predation by Rats - Hawaii Volcanoes National
Four Examples of Nest Predation by Rats - Hawaii Volcanoes NationalBlack rats were unintentionally introduced to Hawai’i in the late 1800s, most likely as hitchhikers on trading vessels. Since their introduction, they have disrupted native ecosystems by destroying native plants, eating native arthropods, and depredating bird nests.

July 10, 2018 fissure 8 whirlwind
A whirlwind spins skyward on the northwest side of the fissure 8 cinder cone in this video taken on July 10, 2018. A number of whirlwinds have formed in the area due to the extreme heat of the open lava channel heating the air above it.

Kīlauea summit
This aerial view of Kīlauea's summit (taken early yesterday morning, looking south) shows some well-known features and some that are now more obvious as a result of ongoing collapse of Halema‘uma‘u and parts of the summit caldera floor.

Kīlauea Volcano — Aerial View of Kapoho Crater
Aerial view of Kapoho Crater looking toward the south-southeast. Part of the lava channelbecame blocked just upstream of Kapoho Crater yesterday, diverting flows to the west and then south around the crater (center right). Lava exiting a crusted section of the channel continued flowing in the channel pathway (lower center to left).
