The thick ash deposits from past large Yellowstone explosive eruptions are well known, but there are also smaller ash deposits in the Yellowstone region. Time to give these oft-overlooked deposits some "tuff" love! ow.ly/vbCT50K1AHS

Want to detect white sharks without an encounter? Collect water! Sharks shed mucus, feces, and skin that encode their genetic signature, so a lifeguard could sample ocean water to see if any sharks are lurking. ow.ly/5EmE50K2C91 Cartoon: Monica Pessino, UCSB #SharkWeek

During large, short-term floods the USGS collects data such as high-water marks and deploys additional sensors to help document high-water events. The Flood Event Viewer (FEV) provides access to storm-surge and other event-based data. ow.ly/SMhk50K1FMh #Climate #Floods 🌧️💧
