A picturesque panorama! A @USGS_OR hydro tech conducts a routine visit to Crater Lake nr Crater Lake, OR. Fun Fact: The Crater Lake gage is only accessible during summer months due to heavy snowfall that begins in fall and doesn’t completely melt until summer. #FieldPhotoFriday

What a wild weather week #Oregon! The "bomb cyclone" has our local rivers swollen. Check out our flow data at the #WillametteRiver at #Corvallis. Flow is around 25400 ft3/sec - well over the 14 year average of 15200 ft3/sec! ow.ly/WwVc50Uc2oT

🐍🔍 Curious about where reptiles might live in the future? 🦎🌎 A recent study predicts many lizard and snake species could shift northward as the West heats up. Learn more in our new story: ow.ly/rXX250TQ2vH

ALT A GIF shows the recent climate-niche distribution of the Gila monster is in the southwest U.S. and northern Mexico—which are shaded in grey on a map of western North America. In the future—the years 2070-2100—the grey area expands northward farther into California, Nevada, Wyoming, and as far north as southern Washington and Idaho. Parts of the species’ climate-niche in northern Mexico could be lost as the climate warms.

Happy #ScienceSaturday! Check out the AGU coverage of a recent #USGS report lead by Oregon Water Science Center hydrologist Caelan Simeone! ow.ly/S2nM50T5a7U

US water reservoirs are shrinking and becoming less reliable

Major water reservoirs across the U.S. are experiencing longer, more severe, and more variable periods of low storage than several decades ago, a new study reports.
