USGS geologists document potential paleoliquefaction features from past seismicity at the southernmost edge of the Central Virginia Seismic Zone
USGS geologists document potential paleoliquefaction features from past seismicity at the southernmost edge of the Central Virginia Seismic ZoneUSGS geologists document potential paleoliquefaction features from past seismicity at the southernmost edge of the Central Virginia Seismic Zone. Radiocarbon data suggest these features along Fountain Creek near Skippers, VA may be related to an earthquake that occurred near Petersburg, VA in the late 1700s.

Annual Groundwater-Transported Nitrogen Yield into Long Island Sound
Annual Groundwater-Transported Nitrogen Yield into Long Island SoundA map of Connecticut showing the annual groundwater-transported nitrogen yield on the north shore of the Long Island Sound. Watersheds that have yields exceeding 500 kilograms of nitrogen per square kilometer per year are shown in yellow regardless of the magnitude of the yield.

NY Water Science Center Divers
Photograph taken during the 1st Annual NYWSC Dive Safety Day. The purpose of the safety day is to allow the NYWSC divers time to practice the skills they utilize during their routine dives, while also giving them a chance to work an any additional skills that might aid in dive safety and communication.

Elizabeth Mine, an Abandoned Copper Mine in Vermont
Elizabeth Mine, an Abandoned Copper Mine in VermontElizabeth Mine was a copper mine in Strafford, Vermont, that was abandoned in 1957. It was added to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Superfund Program’s National Priority List in 2001. Since then, EPA and USGS have cooperated to investigate the nature and extent of contamination from weathering of waste rock rich in metals and sulfides.
