High-resolution multispectral imagery collected in March 2024 by USGS of NPS vegetation monitoring plots at Palo Alto Battlefield in Brownsville, TX. The black boxes outline the sampling plot perimeter, and the green polygons outline patches of cordgrass (Spartina).

Exposure with a UV-B light of CRISPR-Cas12a-processed samples after a reaction time of 30 minutes. Those that are illuminated are positive for brown treesnake DNA, those that are not illuminated contain negative controls (no brown treesnake DNA). Photo by Adam Perez (USGS).

Invasive swamp eel (Monopterus albus) collected in central Florida. Swamp eels are used as bait and in live food markets and have the potential to impact the ecology and economics of a waterbody.

The three turtles were among the estimated 1,200 endangered sea turtles that were rescued from icy ocean water and beaches during a cold stun event January 21-26, 2025.

Stylized animation showing the shoreline of a wetland that is eroded by waves or currents eating away the sediment along the edge of the wetland. The displaced sediment is then deposited back onto the wetland platform by other waves. When this process happens continually, layers of displaced sediment build up over time, raising the surface of the wetland.

Welcome to the USGS Ecosystems Mission Area Outstanding in the Field podcast series that tells stories about our science, our adventures, and our efforts to better understand fish and wildlife and the ecosystems that support them.
Welcome to the USGS Ecosystems Mission Area Outstanding in the Field podcast series that tells stories about our science, our adventures, and our efforts to better understand fish and wildlife and the ecosystems that support them.
In this episode of Outstanding in the Field, we take you to the swamps and coastal wetlands of Louisiana, the land of bayous and beignets and a state with one of the most dynamic coastlines in the United States. The wetlands that make up the Louisiana coast are vast and help protect important cultural and natural resources.

The USGS Ecosystems Mission Area brings you Outstanding in the Field, a series of stories about our science, our adventures, and our efforts to better understand our fish and wildlife and the ecosystems that support them. In this episode we describe the USGS’s efforts to track frog populations in the southeast United States.
