Rainout shelters allow researchers to study effects of drought
Rainout shelters allow researchers to study effects of droughtRainout shelters block about 35% of natural rainfall, allowing researchers to study the effects of drought on plants in the arid and semiarid southwestern United States.

Swimming paths of control (left) and copper (right) exposed fishBehavioral Toxicology Laboratory — Columbia, Missouri. Swimming paths of control (left) and copper (right) exposed fish demonstrate changes in swimming behavior detected following exposure to metals. Such changes can impact ability of fish to survive.

fantail of the R/V Savannah
The fantail of the R/V Savannah loaded with USGS gear recovered from near Matanzas Inlet, FL. The data collected by the sensors in winter 2018 will be used to assess storm effects on coastal inlet dynamics.

lava lake within Halema‘uma‘u crater about 3 weeks before magma beganThe active lava lake within Halema‘uma‘u crater about 3 weeks before magma began to withdraw from beneath the crater. Visible in the middle left of the photo behind the plume, is the old Overlook parking area, closed since 2008. The parking area slumped into the crater by June 21. View is toward the southwest.
