Happy #FieldworkFriday! LEBA underwent a full rebuild recently. This WA station, ~25 miles from the coast near Willapa Bay, plays an important role in coastal monitoring and contributing to @USGS_ShakeAlert earthquake early warning in the event of a Cascadia Subduction Zone EQ.

Ram-ping up for the rut! 🐏

Watch two tups go head to head in our study area. 🔉 Sound on for the full effect!

Fieldwork Friday... What's your schedule today?

Our remote underwater cameras record marine life in its natural habitat during research surveys conducted from our research vessel, MBA Sepia.

We are one of many observers contributing surface ocean CO₂ observations to global studies. #MAPCO2 #Saildrone #OceanAcidification @aoos-alaska.bsky.social #FieldworkFriday

Even the seals approve of this work! 🧪🌊🦑🛟🦭🙌
A surface ocean buoy monitors seawater carbon dioxide in the Gulf of Alaska to detect ocean acidification. Site name is GAKOA. A spotted seal catches a ride on a Saildrone observing surface ocean carbon dioxide in Alaska.

It’s #FieldWorkFriday!
This week, our field team traveled to Benton, CA, to upgrade equipment that helps keep ShakeAlert’s earthquake early warning system connected. 🏔️
This is just the start! More regional monitoring sites are expected to receive upgrades over the next year.

Hands and boots in the mud is an important part of conservation work, but being out on the water is always our happy place!

Happy Friday Everyone!

Meet one of the handsome untagged tups (male sheep) who have wandered into our study area, fashionably early for the rut. 🐏

This autumn we’re aiming to catch, tag, & take DNA samples from these tups, so we can follow them and every lamb they sire. @soaysheep.bsky.social

Happy #FieldworkFriday and Happy Halloween! Since it’s spooky season, here are shots of PNSN seismic stations MOON🌙 & OWLS🦉 and radio repeater sites WOLF🐺 & PUNKIN🎃. They help us monitor the tricks of our regional seismic hazards and give you the treat of #ShakeAlert earthquake early warning!
Picture of the MOON station from 2018. Blue sky with clouds in the background. Station consists of a red box hooked up to a pole-mounted solar panel and communications antenna. Picture of the OWLS station. Gray sky, a clearing of trees, and two large wooden poles in the background. Station is a gray metal box sitting on the grass. Picture of the repeater site WOLF. A man on a ladder helps attach a device above the door to a blue and white building. Picture of the repeater site PUNKIN. Blue sky with a hill and trees in the background. Blue and orange building with a grassy lawn in front.

#FieldworkFriday. One of the persistent 'alternative interpretations' of Maltese cart ruts is that they were made for water transport. But...as I show here with an example of one of the main pairs of cart ruts at Misraħ Għar il-Kbir.....

During the Cold Air Outbreak Experiment in the Sub-Arctic Region (CAESAR) field campaign, CIRES Fellow John Cassano cycled through a snowy landscape under the northern lights in Kiruna, Sweden. #PhotoFriday #FieldworkFriday

Happy #FieldWorkFriday! When rain washed out the main trail, our Field team and volunteers put their adventure skills to work, finding a new route to our MBW2 station. Once there, they installed a new router, proving that no muddy path can stop this team!
Solar panel and antenna placed in middle of small open field surrounded by trees, over looked by clear blue sky Depart box buried underground with bricks placed on top.Trees surrounding the area with a nice mountain that can be seen in the distance. The area is overlooked by nice clear blue sky Solar panel box sitting on a nice open patch of grass with a PNSN volunteer sitting behind to the left of the solar panel box. Behind the box are trees which is overlooked by nice clear blue sky PNSN volunteer hiking up a trail that is surrounded by untamed vegetation, lots of trees, bushes and tall grass.

#FieldworkFriday Thinking about Neolithic tombs (after visiting a group of several at Xemxija recently, where thousands of bones were deposited in the Neolithic). Interesting that these tomb openings are similar size and shape to puddles of water which form in hollows after rain

CIRES scientists travel far and wide — and high — for their research.

In this #FieldworkFriday photo from 2025, Dave Costa, an electrical engineer at CIRES working in @noaa.gov PSL, climbs on a tower at a Wind Forecast Improvement Project (WFIP3) site on Block Island, RI.

Happy #FieldworkFriday! The PNSN field crew upgraded the battery bank at BURLY this week. BURLY contributes to Shake Alert earthquake early warning and serves as a repeater for seismic data transmitted by radio from EDM at Mt. St. Helens and WATCH near Mt. Rainier.
A seismic station with a solar panel and radio transmitters on a mountain ridge in the foreground and a view of Mt Rainier in the distance under a blue sky. Another view of the station with a metal box under the solar panel and Mt St Helens visible in the distance. Another view of the solar panel with a PNSN field team member working on it. A man in a PNSN t shirt working inside the open metal box at the base of the station, with wiring and tools visible inside.
