A picturesque panorama! A @USGS_OR hydro tech conducts a routine visit to Crater Lake nr Crater Lake, OR.
Fun Fact: The Crater Lake gage is only accessible during summer months due to heavy snowfall that begins in fall and doesn’t completely melt until summer.

The #USGS is listening to rivers to understand how flows transport bedload sediment, which is fundamental to ecosystem structure and health. Pictured is a hydrophone installation in the #McKenzieRiver.

What a wild weather week #Oregon! The "bomb cyclone" has our local rivers swollen. Check out our flow data at the #WillametteRiver at #Corvallis. Flow is around 25400 ft3/sec - well over the 14 year average of 15200 ft3/sec!

The maximum surface-water extent in the #KlamathMarsh has decreased by about 50% since 1985.

Satellite imagery and the interplay of #climate and #HydrologicData tell the story of surface-water decline in the Klamath Marsh. #USGS
