The U.S. Geological Survey Great Lakes Science Center has conducted lake-wide surveys of the fish community in Lake Erie since the 1960s. The resulting data on relative abundance, size, and age of fishes are used by state and provincial agencies to manage Lake Erie fish stocks. This video shows bottom trawl sampling during June 2015.

The USGS and its cooperators have installed debris-flow monitoring equipment in the largest drainage basin at Chalk Cliffs, CO. Data collection at this site supports research on the hydrologic factors that control debris-flow initiation, entrainment, and flow dynamics.

Cross sections showing the three-dimensional hydrogeologic framework from land surface (gray shading) to the bottom of the primary aquifer systems (tan shading) in the Williston Basin. All layers and cross sections have been vertically exaggerated by a factor of 20. Modified from USGS SIR 2014-5047 by Thamke and others.

Time-lapse photo of a rainfall-induced runoff event at an edge-of-field surface site near Fort Wayne, Indiana, on May 10-11, 2016. Edge-of-field monitoring is used to assess the quantity and quality of agricultural runoff and evaluate the effectiveness of conservation practices that aim to reduce nutrient loss.

Welcome to the Experimental Stream Lab at the US Geological Survey's Leetown Science Center in Kearneysville West Virginia. At this lab we're interested in stream ecology and how fish respond to land use and climate change. This experimental stream lets us test these questions in new ways.
