Weighing soils into crucibles
Don Bonville, Physical Scientist Technician, weighs soils into crucibles for the determination of percent dry and loss-on-ignition. These soil samples are part of the Hydrologic Benchmark Network Program.

Sunset at Sage Lot Pond Salt Marsh Observatory
Sunset at Sage Lot Pond Salt Marsh Observatory marks the end of 16 hour field effort. During this sampling, USGS researchers captured the exchange of materials between the marsh and estuary. This field site provides infrastructure to keep sensors deployed nearly year-round so changes across seasons and extreme events, such as large storms, are captured.

Streamgage in Connecticut
A beautiful capture of a streamgage at Bunnell Brook near Burlington, CT.
High Tide
High tides are one challenge of working in tidal wetlands! Here the marsh platform is completely submerged during a spring tide. The boardwalk, which scientists use to access the site, is also under water during this extreme high tide, while the solar panels powering some instruments remain dry.

Streamflow measurement in the fall
Hydro Technician, Henry Witt, takes a self portrait while he conducts a discharge measurement in the Houstonic River at Falls Village, CT. One of the many perks of field work year round is the ability to witness the seasons come and go.
