Williamson River below the Sprague River in Chiloquin, OR.
Williamson River below the Sprague River in Chiloquin, OR.This is a view of a USGS surface water stream gage that contains equipment to monitor discharge at the Williamson River below the Sprague Ruver in Chiloquin, Oregon. The gage house contains a historic stilling well and a device that records the level of water. It also has a water temerature sensor and a turbidimeter.

Water collected from the lake at the bottom of Halema‘uma‘u
Water collected from the lake at the bottom of Halema‘uma‘uWater collected from the lake at the bottom of Halema‘uma‘u is prepared for laboratory analyses at the USGS California Volcano Observatory. Results thus far reveal chemistry indicative of complex reactions between the water, magmatic gases, and Kīlauea's basaltic rocks.

Humboldt’s flying squirrel on wildlife camera
The photo features a Humboldt’s flying squirrel (Glaucomys oregonensis) caught on a wildlife camera. The camera was set up to study animal movement under a new road crossing structure known as the “toad road” in Sierra National Forest.
