This image was drawn for a fact sheet on Uranium mining in the Grand Canyon region, but was ultimately unused.  It still has utility to serve as inspiration to those who want to form ideas on how their science can be represented.  The image is quite literally, a view into the Grand Canyon.  But on a deeper level also is a conglomerate of both the geol

Hydrologic Technician Matt Bach measuring streamflow day after a rain event at USGS streamgage 04085078, DUTCHMAN CREEK AT HANSEN RD AT ASHWAUBENON, WI, using an Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler (ADCP). The ADCP measures water currents by transmitting "pings" of sound at a constant frequency into the water.
