Graph of decadal change in Radium concentration compared to road salt application rate (Lindsay and others, 2021). Increases in concentrations of radium are correlated with road-salt application, and multiple lines of evidence support that the relation is causal.

Vehicles drive on interstate I-70 in Glenwood Canyon, Colorado. In the summer of 2021, travelers in Colorado's Glenwood Canyon were safely evacuated before massive debris flows buried highways and destroyed bridges, thanks to a debris flow warning system developed in part by the U.S. Geological Survey.

In this photo, USGS scientist Martha Nielsen conducts a slug test in a groundwater well completed in bedrock. During a slug test, a hydrologist causes the water level in a well to increase or decrease rapidly, while measuring the water-level response in the well over time.
