USGS geologists Dave Foster and Wayne Baldwin and Andrew Green (University of
KwaZulu-Natal) observe coastal hazards on the Lower Cape, Massachusetts.

A USGS employee takes a wading measurement of streamflow on Leidy Creek at Togwotee Pass. Bear tracks on the fresh snow and seven grizzlie sightings were a good reminder to be bear-aware when taking measurements in this area.

Hawaiian Volcano Observatory field crews establish a new MultiGAS volcanic gas monitoring station on the south side of Kīlauea Volcano's caldera. Currently, sulfur dioxide emission rates from the summit remain low. The station will collect data to track emission rates and concentrations over time. Photo by Frank Younger.

Chesapeake Bay is the Nation's largest estuary and its restoration and protection is a priority. The USGS provides scientific information to help manage this vital ecosystem. As part of that role, staff at the USGS Earth Resources Observation and Science (EROS) Center created this true color composite image.
