This photograph shows ice-wedge polygons and an eroding shoreline at Cape Halkett on the Beaufort Sea coast of Alaska. Coastal erosion along the Arctic coast is chronic, widespread and potentially accelerating, posing threats to infrastructure important for defense and energy purposes, natural shoreline habitats and nearby Native communities.

Sediment cores from lakes and reservoirs can be used to reconstruct contaminant histories in watersheds. Sediment-core analyses indicate that concentrations of PAHs in many U.S. urban lakes are increasing, and multiple lines of evidence indicate that the source of the PAHs in coal-tar-based pavement sealants.

Dust was collected from sealcoated pavements across the U.S. Concentrations of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in dust from sealed pavement in the East, where coal-tar-based products are used, was about 1,000 times higher than in dust from sealed pavement in the West, where asphalt-based products are used.

USGS hydrologist conducts a broadband electromagnetic survey in New Orleans, Louisiana. The survey was one of several geophysical methods used during USGS applied research on the utility of the multi-channel analysis of surface waves (MASW) seismic method for non-invasive assessment of earthen levees.
