Magnitude-7.9 Earthquake in China
Early on the morning of May 12, 2008 a magnitude-7.9 earthquake rattled eastern Sichuan, China. Dr. Harley Benz, Scientist-in-Charge at the USGS National Earthquake Information Center, fills us in with the details. (After this interview, the USGS changed its report of this earthquake's magnitude from 7.8 to 7.9.)

Wetland Revival
USGS scientists deliver a variety of science in the effort to restore wetlands to over 25,000 acres in San Francisco Bay. "Wetland Revival" shows how science is contributing to the transformation of once industrial salt producing ponds into more natural habitat. The program was completed in 2008. USGS General Information Product 61.

Acoustic Doppler Velocity Meter
An acoustic Doppler velocity meter mounted on a track for instream deployment. The USGS deployed devices similar to this on at three monitoring sites on northern Idaho's Kootenai River to estimate sediment concentrations in the spawning habitat of the endangered Kootenai River white sturgeon.

Desert Perchlorate Field Work
USGS scientists dig soil pits in Nevada's Amargosa Desert to study the distribution of natural perchlorate and to determine the atmospheric-soil-plant interactions that affected perchlorate's cycling in a terrestrial ecosystem.
Amargosa Desert, Nevada
~17 km south of Beatty; ~20 km east of Death Valley National Park.
