USGS response to Tropical Storm Debby in Georgia
Drew Robinson, a USGS hydrological technician, is putting a Rapid Deployment Gauge together for the Georgia Department of Transportation on Wednesday, August 7. He built the RDG and deployed it in Statesboro in the early evening. That RDG was used to help the local community experiencing bad floods on Lotts Creek.

The Animated Nitrogen Cycle
This animation of the biogeochemical nitrogen cycle illustrates the main steps of the cycle in air, water, and soils. The video explains and connects the many forms of nitrogen, such as ammonia, ammonium, hydroxylamine, nitrite, nitrate, nitrous oxide, and nitrogen dioxide, and explains the role of nitrate in nitric oxide signaling in the human body.
