King Eider Tagging
Graduate students hold a female king eider captured in June 2008 in northern Alaska. Researchers band the birds with a numbered metal band that allows individual identification. Female king eiders return to the same nesting area every year.

King Eider Tagging
Graduate students take morphological measurements of every bird to estimate whether size affects migration strategy. Researchers measure the culmen length of a male king eider.

Deployment of an Acoustic Doppler Profiler
USGS dive team members Marc Blouin and Glen Black carrying an ADCP (Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler) into Lake Michigan to measure currents throughout the summer season in order to improve predictive modeling at recreational beaches and better predict E. coli concentrations in the water, therefore improve safety of swimmers.
