Explore our planet through photography and imagery, including climate change and water all the way back to the 1800s when the USGS was surveying the country by horse and buggy.
Earth Science reminds us that the study of Earth and its biological processes can occur anywhere—whether we realize it or not.

Bryce Canyon is a unique sandstone formation in southern Utah. It is home to a large number of hoodoos, which are oddly shaped pillars of rock that formed due to different erosion rates for the dolomite that caps them and the sandstone that forms their base.
Bryce Canyon is also home to large numbers of cedar trees that spread throughout the canyon.

The difference in the sediment loads between the Kootenai River and Fisher River is easy to spot shortly downstream of their confluence. The Fisher River had a lot of flow and sediment from the recent rains and added muddy water to the clear Kootenai River. The Kootenai is clear because this site is just downstream of the Libby Dam.
