Guess you could call these robot guts! Out this week deploying robots on Snake River (near Moran, WY & Irwin, ID) with partners from MBARI. Robots collect samples several times/day, then process and preserve them for analysis in late summer. Info at

Postdoctoral research position focused on reconstructions of long-term selenium exposure in Lake Koocanusa's Burbot population. Position is at UConn and will be a collaborative effort with several USGS scientists. Application review begins on August 5. ow.ly/smIa50JRzJv

New data release describes updated flood frequency probabilities for Bighorn, Rosebud, and Treasure Counties using data through 2021. Find data at: ow.ly/EPaI50JR0Hi and project information at: ow.ly/Io0T50JR0LQ

Fish out west are amazing & we study the factors that influence them. This work helps the public continue to enjoy angling & informs successful conservation strategies for species of concern 👉 ow.ly/laY350JPX1p

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…
#NationalPollinatorWeek twitter.com/USGS_YES/statu…

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
