    Two field workers, one wearing a USGS-branded green sweatshirt, are assembling or maintaining a rectangular metal frame structure in an open grassland setting. The terrain is dry, golden prairie with rolling hills in the background under a clear blue sky. Red and yellow marker flags are visible in the surrounding area, suggesting a scientific field study or survey site.

    Researchers set up a rainout shelter on an experimental site on Buffalo Gap National Grassland in southwestern South Dakota to study the effects of simulated drought, March 19, 2024. This work will support ranchers who are concerned about upcoming years of worsening drought that may affect the grazing potential of the grasslands for their livestock. (Forest Service photo)

    Two field researchers or wildlife biologists are walking through a grassy, semi-forested landscape carrying scientific equipment. Both individuals are wearing orange safety vests, suggesting they are conducting official fieldwork or survey activities. The setting appears to be a high-elevation or open rangeland environment with coniferous trees in the background.
    A woman wearing a U.S. Forest Service hoodie and a cap holds a yellow DeWalt cordless drill while working outdoors. She is positioned near a barbed wire fence with a yellow sign reading 'Forest Research Experimental Area - Please do not disturb' visible in the background. The setting appears to be an open, arid landscape under a clear blue sky.

    Two researchers are working at a water monitoring or gauging station installed in a rocky mountain stream outlet near an alpine lake. One person is bent over inspecting or maintaining the equipment, which includes a solar panel on top of a white flume structure, while the other stands nearby taking notes or recording data on a device. The setting appears to be a high-elevation wilderness area with conifer forests, rocky terrain, and a reflective mountain lake in the background.
