Ecomapper Autonomous Underwater Vehicle (AUV)
The Ecomapper is an autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) that is a specialized submersibile device that operates by propelling through a water body between points along a constant depth.

Angular unconformity atop Mount Everts, Yellowstone National Park
Angular unconformity atop Mount Everts, Yellowstone National ParkAn unconformity at the top of Mount Everts is located where the Huckleberry Ridge Tuff, 2.1 million years old, lies directly on top of Cretaceous sediments that are ~60 million years old and greater. Right at the unconformity are conspicuous orange and black colors. The orange is oxidation of the sedimentary unit where it is in contact with the ash, whic

Highway 89 winding through Silver Gate in Yellowstone National Park
Highway 89 winding through Silver Gate in Yellowstone National ParkA few miles south of Mammoth Hot Springs in Yellowstone National Park, Highway 89 winds through the white/gray jumble of rocks known as the Hoodoos, or Silver Gate, that formed when travertine from Terrace Mountain collapsed in a landslide.

Faulted and folded petroleum source rocks in Jurassic and Cretaceous rocks (Kingak Shale, pebble shale unit, and gamma-ray zone of Hue Shale) in southern part of Western North Slope. Thermal maturity of these rocks are at the upper limit of oil preservations.

Silver Gate landslide complex in Yellowstone National Park
Silver Gate landslide complex in Yellowstone National ParkSilver Gate landslide complex in Yellowstone National Park. The jumbled nature of the calcium-carbonate rocks is evidence that the deposit was formed by collapse of a travertine hot-spring terrace that might once have looked like Mammoth Hot Springs does today.

Image of the Week - Landsat Archive Hits 9 Million Scenes
Image of the Week - Landsat Archive Hits 9 Million ScenesThe Landsat archive is the world's longest continuously collected record of the Earth's surface. In mid September, it notched another milestone by adding its nine millionth scene. This particular image from north central Paraguay helps tell the kind of story that only a long historical record like Landsat can.

Eyes on Earth Episode 35 – Watching the Water Supply with OpenET
Eyes on Earth Episode 35 – Watching the Water Supply with OpenETEvapotranspiration is the process by which water transpires from the leaves and stems of plants and evaporates from the Earth’s surface. ET is an important metric for managing water use, but data availability has long been an issue.
