WBS Sampling Under Ice
Icy Sampling
RML scientist, Adam Mumford, working under ice to obtain grab samples of a stream in North Dakota to assess impacts of a brine spill from unconventional oil and gas activities (UOG). UOG spills often have very high concentrations of salts, metals, naturally occurring radioactive materials (NORMs), and organic compounds.

Centrifuge Bowl Containing River Suspended Sediment for Analysis
A U.S. Geological Survey hydrologist holds a centrifuge bowl containing river suspended sediment for analysis of metals and organic chemicals. The sample was collected using a new in-field continuous-flow centrifugation technique to separate and collect suspended sediment from large volumes of water.

A USGS streamflow gaging station is used to collect water data
A U.S. Geological Survey streamflow gaging station collects water data on the Trask River. The Trask River gage is located near Tillamook, Ore. and has been in operation for 17 years.

USGS streamgage on the Trask River
Trask River stage, discharge, and water-quality data are collected and used together to help monitor the current health of the river. Data from the river are sent to equipment in the gage house, where it is stored then transmitted to USGS servers.

Garden Wall Weather Station, MT
The Garden Wall Weather Station is situated below the Garden Wall and adjacent to the Haystack Creek avalanche path in Glacier National Park. It provides meteorological data for avalanche forecasting and research, including wind speed and direction, air temperature, relative humidity, and net radiation measurements.

Public supply well and aerator
Anoxic groundwater pumped from the embayment-uplands aquifers for municipal supply is oxygenated as it cascades over aerator trays. The iron and manganese that are dissolved in the water precipitate and are filtered from the water.
