In this episode we take to the water and accompany a USGS field crew as they collect largescale suckers (Catostomus macrocheilus) along the lower Columbia River. Using a boat equipped with specialized shocking equipment, researchers stun nearby fish, allowing them to be easily collected and examined. Join us, as we explore how native fish are used to determine the water quality and ecological health of our local rivers, only in this month's episode of the Oregon Science Podcast.

Eruptive activity at Mount St. Helens captured the world's attention on May 18, 1980 when the largest historical landslide on Earth and a powerful explosion reshaped the volcano. A volcanic ash cloud spread across the US in 3 days, and encircled the Earth in 15 days.
This mini-movie compiled from individual satellite images taken in 1980 shows the ash cloud as it enlarged, and was carried by winds across the western United States. Each photo identifies Mount St. Helens, some large cities, and the ash cloud. These satellite images are used courtesy of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA).
The first satellite picture was taken at 8:15 a.m. PDT, 17 minutes before the eruption. The next six pictures were taken every half hour until 11:15 a.m. PDT. Thereafter, images were taken every hour through 4:15 p.m. PDT.

Proxy data such as tree rings, ice cores, and microorganisms are collected and analyzed by scientists to unlock past climate records stretching back thousands to millions of years ago. This video podcast examines how scientists can decipher past climate from such records by focusing on a proxy calibration study in the Gulf of Mexico. Microfossils recovered from the northern Gulf of Mexico are used to assess the control of temperature and salinity on the composition of microfossil assemblages and the chemical composition of their shells. The new data will be used to develop better estimates of past conditions from analyses of microfossils in sediment cores.

The rockslide occurred about nine miles east of Glenwood Springs in Glenwood Canyon (Colorado) at 7:42 am, November 25, 2004, according officials from the Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT).
Glenwood Springs is about halfway between Vail and Grand Junction, Colorado. The rockslide caused the closure of Interstate 70 for rock removal and repair, and forced commercial trucks tourists and commuters to take a 200 mile detour, since it is the only highway through this rocky, steep canyon area of Interstate 70.

- This video clip was captured from a boat while collecting water quality samples on the White River on April 20th, 2011. The gage height at the time was 17.39* feet and discharge was 32,900* cubic feet per second. The conditions seen here are considered bank full, which is the point at which the flow of the river completely fills river channel. Increased flow after bank full conditions cause water to spill over into adjacent floodplains. On April 27th, one week later, gage height was at 28.17* feet and discharge was measured to be 162,000* cubic feet per second, which exceeds the "high" threshold for this site.

USGS scientists from the Pacific Coastal and Marine Science Center explore how sediment moves across San Francisco Bay tidal flats. The research team deploys a suite of large instrumented tripods to record sediment movements over a six-week period in early 2011. Answers from this work will help determine whether deposition of sediment at high tide is occurring quickly enough to preserve marshes in the face of sea-level rise.
The program also highlights the value and function of the USGS Mendenhall Fellowship Program. The Mendenhall Program at the USGS provides recent PhD graduates an opportunity to conduct cutting-edge research on pressing scientific questions with the guidance and mentoring of established scientists.

Appendix 2. Flood-Peak Inundation Maps for Selected Study Streams and Communities, Flood of September 2008, Indiana
Flood-peak inundation maps are intended to show the approximate depths and extents of floods using aerial photography as a base map. Error sources in the maps can include digital-elevation-data errors, high-water-mark errors, and flood water-surface elevation interpolation errors. Errors can result in inaccuracies in flood extent and depth estimations; thus, the flood extents and depths depicted in the maps should be considered estimates.

Former U.S. Geological Survey geologist Gene Shinn has been documenting coral reef conditions in the Florida Keys for 50 years. During those decades coral conditions have changed dramatically in the Caribbean and Florida Keys. Coral disease and bleaching events have led to the decline of certain types of coral species. Ocean acidification could lead to further impacts on coral reefs. These videos show Shinn snorkeling in the Keys on the 50th year since he began documenting coral reef conditions and taking photographs of coral reefs in their current state. Sea fans and gorgonian corals are seen in abundance in the area as well as various types of coral diseases such as black band disease.

This video captures the breakup of ice cover on the Skunk River at Augusta, Iowa, on February 17, 2011, at approximately 3:00 pm CST. The river stage at the time was 14.50 feet (elevation 535.74 feet NGVD29). A preliminary estimate of the discharge at the time of the ice breakup is 9,500 cubic feet per second.
The USGS has operated a streamgage on the Skunk River at Augusta since 1913. The streamgage is located on the left bank of the river, just upstream of the County Highway X38 bridge in Augusta, and 10.4 miles upstream from where the Skunk River flows into the Mississippi River. The Skunk River watershed, encompassing 4,355 square miles, stretches from its headwaters in central Iowa near Williams to the southeastern corner of Iowa south of Burlington. In addition to real-time stage and flow, the USGS also collects a daily record of suspended sediment concentration and r...

Video narrated by Amy Macleod, USGS Wildlife Biologist Research Assistant at the West Glacier Field Station in Montana, on the making of the scent lures for the Northern Divide Bear Project. Scent lures are concoctions made from decomposing fish and cows blood. The scent lure is wretchedly stinky and making it is one of the dirtiest jobs in the USGS. Scent lures are used to attract bears to hair snag stations. The collected hair is used in DNA analysis. The DNA analysis is sued by USGS researchers to determine the population of bears in the Northern Continental Divide Ecosystem.

This video provides an overview of direct and indirect effects of increases in atmospheric CO2 on coastal wetlands using a salt marsh-mangrove community as an example. A short background is given summarizing past, present, and future predicted changes in CO2 concentrations based on ice core data and direct measurements conducted at monitoring stations such as the Mauna Loa Observatory. Responses of plants utilizing different photosynthetic pathways (C3 vs. C4 species) are used as a starting point to explain potential responses of a coastal plant community containing Avicennia germinans (C3 mangrove) and Spartina alterniflora (C4 grass) to changes in CO2 and associated climate change (temperature, rainfall). Experimental methods used to study effects of CO2 on plants are described, and results of peer-reviewed studies are summarized to illustrate the complexity of potential effects of CO...

At 11:10 in the morning on November 28, 2005, the active lava delta at East Lae'apuki began to fall into the ocean. This was not a catastrophic collapse, with the entire 34-acre delta going at once, but instead occurred in a piece-meal fashion over a period of just less than 5 hours. The collapse removed the active East Lae'apuki delta, plus another 10 acres of the old sea cliff inland from the delta. The area of land removed was 830 meters long and 320 meters wide--this is more than half a mile long and just under a quarter mile wide!
