Edmonds, WA train tracks
Train tracks and overwater structures along Browns Bay in Edmonds, Washington often occur on developed shorelines of Puget Sound. The built environment can interrupt the flow of sediment from back-beach bluffs to the intertidal zone, attenuate and redirect alongshore currents, and reduce upper beach habitat.

Mounds in Acidalia Planitia
Mounds in Acidalia Planitia, Mars. These are almost certainly not cinder cones despite their appearance. Their alignment in rows is not typical of cinder cones on Earth; more likely these are mud volcanoes formed from the shaking of an impact event.

Tribal Canoe Journey to Help Restore Salish Sea Resources
Water quality in the Salish Sea will be measured during the Coast Salish annual summer canoe voyage, the Tribal Journey.
This project will blend traditional knowledge of the Coast Salish People with USGS science in an effort to help improve management of ancestral waters experiencing environmental decline.

Wind Turbines on a Farm
Scientists have found that wind turbines are causing fatalities of certain species of migratory insect-eating bats, although a March 2011 study in Science suggests that solutions to reduce the impacts of wind turbines on bats may be possible.
