Environmental DNA (eDNA) is excreted and sloughed off into the environment by organisms & can be used to detect invasive aquatic species. Automated samplers can make using eDNA an even more powerful tool 👉 ow.ly/pQSk50JEL3G

We need our pollinators—butterflies, flies, bats & bees, but some pollinator species are in decline. Check out the native bee research we’re conducting at #USGS_NOROCK : usgs.gov/centers/norock…

Humans & wildlife rely on the plants native bees pollinate, so the USGS is studying why the native western bumblebee is in decline: ow.ly/f1YG50JAtf8 #PollinatorWeek #NativePollinators
Glacier research involves taking snow cores, digging snow pits & measuring snow density. Scientists also need local weather data. Photos below were taken at Sperry Glacier Glacier National Park To learn more about glaciers 👉 ow.ly/B7fZ50JyjsO
