Time-lapse of hydrologic technician Michael Allen collecting streamflow measurements across a cross-section of Valley Creek at Stanley, Idaho.

Groundwater or surface water interaction in the Ozark Plateaus aquifer system. Includes examples of thermal imagery used to see groundwater entering streams.

This video demonstrates how to develop a single offset surface-water rating curve in GRSAT.

This video is a demonstration of how to develope hydraulically sound shift curves and apply them hydrologically in time using GRSAT. Shifts are developed and applied for an entire water year.

The Hawaiian Islands’ beautiful ocean and beaches attract more than 8.5 million tourists each year. The USGS aims to help Hawaii preserve its underwater natural resources by tracing how oceanography may influence coral disease outbreaks.

This video show how pull data from- and save data to- ADAPS when using GRSAT.

This video provides a general overview of GRSAT.

This video show how to extend ratings in the Graphical Rating and Shift Application Tool (GRSAT). It also shows how to set and edit the dates associated with active rating periods.

Ice Out 2015 on the Kennebec River in Augusta, Maine.

This video demonstrates how to develop multiple offset surface-water rating curves using GRSAT.

This video show how use offsets when developing ratings in GRSAT.

USGS revolutionizes data collection by surveying a river channel within the Redlands area using a drone.

This webinar was conducted on March 10, 2015 as a part of the Climate Change Science and Management Webinar Series, co-hosted by the USGS National Climate Change and Wildlife Science Center and the USFWS National Conservation Training Center. Webinar Summary: Bull trout is the most cold-adapted fish in freshwaters of the Pacific Northwest.

USGS will describe the occurrence of contaminants in groundwater, how natural features and human activities can affect groundwater quality, and how models are being used to predict contaminant concentrations in unmonitored areas and inform water-resource management decisions.

This short clip was made by attaching a GoPro camera to an acoustic Doppler current profiler. The clips shows USGS streamgage station 12304500, Yaak River near Troy, MT, and a hydrographer on the cableway using the ADCP to measure streamflow.

On February 26, Nick Stasulis and Charlie Culbertson visited USGS station 01054200 Wild River at Gilead, Maine to make a streamflow measurement through the ice. For these measurements, 20-30 holes are drilled through the ice and a current meter (the spinning yellow cups) is used to measure velocity. River depths and distance across the channel are also measured.
