Before and after photos of Fourmile Creek near Ankeny, Iowa
Before and after photos of Fourmile Creek near Ankeny, Iowa, showing a wastewater outfall from a wastewater treatment facility (WWTF). The top photo is the creek before the WWTFwas closed, and the bottom photo is after the WWTF was shutdown. After the shutdown flow in the creek decreased significantly. Photo credits: Laura E.

Ross basin, upper Cement Creek in Watershed above North Fork Cement Creek
Western view toward the Red Mountains near Silverton, Colorado, taken just upstream from the North Fork Cement Creek drainage in 2006. The photo illustrates acidic drainage (red drainage at right) and less acidic drainage (white drainage at left of photo) that originates from altered rocks and mines in the watershed.

White-Nose Syndrome Lesions Under UV Light
Long-wave ultraviolet (UV) and white-light illumination of lesions associated with white-nose syndrome. Points of orange–yellow fluorescence (arrows) detected on a roosting Indiana myotis (Myotis sodalis) following surface illumination with a field-portable 9-watt 368-nm fluorescent UV light (photo by Tina Cheng with permission).

A map showing the locations of decision units at the Canyon Mine, AZ
A map showing the locations of decision units surrounding the Canyon Mine, Arizona. The scientists used a incremental sampling methodology to collect samples from the predefined decision units. The points (squares and circles) indicate locations where surface soil subsamples were collected during June 2013.
