Coal Seam

A rock outcrop in New River Gorge National Park and Preserve that shows a visible coal seam. The Sewell coal seam was of particular economic interest and was mined extensively in the New River Gorge. Coal mining was an important part of the park's history, and the effects of those past activities are still visible on the landscape.

The Chesapeake Bay is one of the Nation's largest ecosystem restoration efforts, so monitoring to assess changes in condition is crucial. The USGS is monitoring the status and trends of key indicators for the health of streams and rivers in the Chesapeake Bay watershed.

USGS Extensometer Drilling in Virginia

Along the Atlantic Coast, a 2000+ ft deep hole has been drilled by the USGS to assess the issues of groundwater pumping, relative sea-level rise, and land subsidence. This video shows the drilling of the first extensometer to measure land subsidence in the North Atlantic Coastal Plain in 30+ years.
