Jar containing water and microplastic debris from a sampling effort in Milwaukee
A sampling jar contains debris found in a sampling net after being rinsed thoroughly during a microplastics sampling effort in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. At this point the sample is ready to be shipped to the lab for analysis.

Southern Wisconsin Airborne Electromagnetic Survey 2022
Low-flying helicopter with geophysical equipment loop deployed below it via slingload. In March 2022, a helicopter carried an airborne electromagnetic induction sensor over parts of southeast and southwest Wisconsin as part of a USGS study to map the aquifers in the region.

Monitoring Stormwater and Green Infrastructure (Gary City Hall, Ind.)
This time-lapse video shows the construction of the new Gary City Hall parking lot and rain garden in Gary, Indiana. The City of Gary is utilizing green infrastructure in their redevelopment projects in the hopes of reducing the amount stormwater runoff that enters their storm-sewer system and, eventually, Lake Michigan.

Edge-of-Field Monitoring Using Depth-Integrated Sample Arm (DISA)
During edge-of-field monitoring of an agricultural field runoff event, a depth-integrated sample arm (DISA) is used to take a water sample at the same time a traditional water sample is taken from an intake located at the bottom of the H-flume exit, where the water is assumed to be completely mixed.
