Northern Right Whale Dolphins viewed from an airplane
Two Northern Right Whale Dolphins (Lissodelphis borealis), one below the water and another cresting the surface captured during a test flight in March 2019. This image was zoomed in to show the lack of a dorsal fin, a definitive trait in this species.

Micronesian mangrove forest with high elevation and generalist species
Mangrove forest in Pohnpei, Micronesia, with Bruguiera gymnorrhiza (sohmw) and Xylocarpus gymnorrhiza (pwulok).
The USGS and partners are studying how mangrove forests in the Federated States of Micronesia may respond to sea-level rise over the coming century. Their projections will help Micronesian communities plan for the future.
