Using a Thermal Infrared Camera to Identify Groundwater Seeps in the Namegagon River
Using a Thermal Infrared Camera to Identify Groundwater Seeps in the Namegagon RiverCold groundwater seep identified using a handheld thermal infrared camera (FLIR E8) on the upper Namekagon River near Cable, Wisconsin. The groundwater discharge area was about 7-8 degrees cooler than the main channel of the Namekagon.

USGS on the Road - Measuring Icy Rivers
USGS is committed to monitoring water quality and quantity in all conditions, and sometimes that means walking out onto frozen rivers to make a measurement. In this episode, we join a team as they cut through the ice to safely access the water that still flows underneath.

Are you afraid of the dark?
Not this scientist. He is using a special technique to examine sediment samples that can help scientists study historical hurricanes.

USGS On the Road — Choptank River Water Quality Sampling
USGS On the Road — Choptank River Water Quality SamplingOn a fair sunny day in March, hydrologic technician Michael Brownley makes his way up the metal rung ladder to a platform. From there he beards a cableway, no bigger than a twin-sized bed. Luckily, he’s the only one aboard the cableway, space is tight as it is.
