PFAS Analysis in a Field
Nothing beats processing groundwater samples next to a cornfield! Kelly McVicker (pictured) and Nicole King of our water quality team were on the Eastern Shore of Maryland collecting groundwater samples for selected analyses including per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), also known as “forever chemicals.”

USGS scientists Natalie Hall and Marina Metes install an AI/ML Camera
Smile! USGS scientists Marina Metes (left) and Natalie Hall (right) installed a new time lapse trail camera at Little Seneca Creek to expand the Flow Photo Explorer network.
Images collected by the USGS, our partners, and citizen scientists go to developing an AI model that can predict streamflow from images.

Tyler Bowser Calibrates Rain Gage At Harford Glen
Hydrologic technician Tyler Bowser calibrated our new rain gage at Harford Glen Park. For this weighing-bucket rain gage to report accurate data, it must be calibrated to a standard weight. This gage weighs rainfall and converts the weight to rainfall in inches.

Hot Stream, Cold Stream – Measuring the impact of Groundwater on Stream Temperature (AD)
Groundwater that drains to surface water through seeps and springs is generally referred to as “discharge.” Groundwater discharge is a primary component of stream base flow, or streamflow that occurs between storms, periods of snowmelt runoff, and periods of quick soil drainage.
