3-D Geologic Model of Columbia Plateau Aquifer System
3-D Geologic Model of Columbia Plateau Aquifer SystemIn this month’s episode we discuss how 3-D modeling is used to examine groundwater in the Columbia Plateau. USGS hydrologist Erick Burns describes how his team modeled the 53,000 mi2 plateau, how this information is currently used, and what implications it has for the future.

Corals: A 50-Year Photographic Record of Changes
This video podcast highlights 50 years of photographic documentation of coral reefs in the Florida Keys. The photographs show 5 decades of changes that have taken place in both the size and the types of corals that were present at several coral reef sites from the early 1960s to today. The images capture events such as the appearance of coral disease and

The Mississippi Embayment - Declining Water Levels in a Deep Aquifer
The Mississippi Embayment - Declining Water Levels in a Deep AquiferThe USGS recently constructed a computer model of groundwater in the Mississippi embayment. This model was used to simulate the rise or decline of water level in a deep aquifer. Water from this deep aquifer is utilized to meet the industrial and public supply needs in the area.
