USGS Scientists say pesticides are likely impacting invertebrate life essential to our nation’s streams. Providing science for a changing world, the USGS showcases the nationwide study that led to this conclusion in their latest news release. usgs.gov/news/national-…

On Jan. 18th, the UC Davis Program of Environmental Policy and Management (@ucd_epm) held its Winter Job Fair. At the event, CAWSC Director, Anke Mueller-Solger, and Hydrologic Technician, Lawrence Fujiwara, answered questions about the #USGS California Water Science Center.

Don't let the #CRWUA2023 #FOMO set in! Swing by Booth 11 at 2:45pm today to see what all the fuss is about! #ColoradoRiver #drought

It's an exciting start to #CRWUA2023! Mike Brain, DOI Deputy Asst Sec for Water & Science (4th from R), stopped by to talk #ColoradoRiver #science. Don't miss out! Swing by Booth 11 at 10:30am & 2:45pm for a demo of—& give your thoughts on—a new USGS science collaboration portal.

Hey, #CRWUA2023 attendees!  Looking to explore the latest #ColoradoRiver Basin science? Swing by Booth 11 in the Exhibit Hall to learn about the latest in USGS #drought science and our exciting new collaboration portal.

💡#MethodsMonday Researchers @USGSwaterCA worked with Timberline Instruments to develop a continuous ammonium analyzer. Seen here is the 1st generation of the instrument deployed on a research vessel in the Sacramento-San Joaquin River Delta in California, USA. 🧵see link (1/2)

In Oct. the USGS held a workshop at the CSUS Expanding Your Horizons Conference. The conference encourages middle school girls in STEM education. The workshop was called Dive into the Bay-Delta. There was also a table where girls could learn about USGS careers. #stem #usgs

A few of our scientist participated in the recent 2023 National Soil Moisture Workshop to support USGS science in monitoring and modeling soil moisture to improve runoff forecasting and drought characterization. 📷 #FieldPhotoFriday #science 🔗More ➡️ drought.gov/events/2023-na…

@bdgroves @USGS @Interior Thanks for your interest! Typical range for LoRa radio is about 15-25 km line-of-sight depending on what type of antennas we use. These LoRa radio towers will be reinforced and the solar panels will be mounted up high to keep from getting buried by snow. .@USGSwaterCA

@USGSwaterCA @USGS @Interior Very cool! I have been thinking about tinkering around with something like this. What kind of range are you expecting to get out of this? Also will it hold up in winter conditions?

USGS Scientist installed LoRa sensor network that uses long-range technology to connect with cellular & satellite uplink sites within Plumas National Forest for the Drought & Soil Moisture Monitoring project in the Feather River Basin.📸#FieldPhotoFriday 🔗usgs.gov/centers/califo…

[PUB] How USGS Gages Are Used in Flood Forecasting - The USGS operates an extensive nationwide network of stream, rain, and groundwater gages. These instruments are used to monitor how much water there is across the Nation. ➡️ ow.ly/tAsn50PIM0u #NationalPreparednessMonth
