How-to video on installing USGS Shoreline Management Tool.
The Shoreline Management Tool is a GIS-based application used to assess how changes in water depth can affect an area. This includes identifying areas that may flood when water reaches a certain level or estimating how much water is available at any given time.

As a USGS hydrologist, Anthony Lopez is currently working on two projects. The first project consists of assessing toxicity of the sediment in Barnegat Bay. For this project, Anthony samples the bay and its tributaries for any pesticides, pharmaceuticals, medals or any other anthropogenic contaminants.

Flooding costs the United States more than $7 billion per year and claims more than 90 lives annually. During the Spring and Summer of 2011, the central U.S. experienced epic flooding, while Hurricane Irene followed by Tropical Storm Lee caused severe flooding in the east and northeastern U.S, setting numerous flood records at USGS streamgages.

USGS installed six early-flood-warning units—rain and stream gages—in the burned areas resulting from New Mexico's 2012 Whitewater-Baldy Fire. The gages transmit data via satellite to provide warnings to communities that may be affected by flooding.

The Mekong is one of the world's longest rivers connecting six Asian countries, China, Myanmar, Laos, Thailand, Cambodia, and Vietnam. People and fish, as well as many other species in this biologically rich region, are directly connected to the river, so that what impacts the river also impacts them.

A series of time-lapse photographs capture rapid water-level fluctuations in the vicinity of Wildwood Islands in the Sheboygan River, 4.4 km upstream of Lake Michigan near Sheboygan, Wis. The fluctuations are caused the interaction of seiche-related oscillations from Lake Michigan with river flows.
