A year at Zion National Park, one frame at a time. 🏞️ This time-lapse captures the North Fork Virgin River with Zion’s iconic Watchman formation in the background, showing how the river and surrounding landscape change over the seasons. USGS Hydrologic Imagery Visualization and Information System (HIVIS) cameras at this and other water monitoring sites across the country help the USGS remotely track current conditions, identify technical issues, verify remote measurements, and provide a visual record of conditions. Want to see the latest view of the river? Check out the camera 👉 https://lnkd.in/gbpphn3J #NationalParkWeek
HIVIS is awesome! It allows me to focus on research rather than hunting for the data I need in order to DO my research. Kudos to Frank Engel and the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) HIVIS team for outstanding work!
Time-series captures like this are such a powerful tool for visualizing dynamic river systems and sediment transport over time. What other geological or environmental processes do you think would benefit most from this type of continuous long-term monitoring?
I like to look at the ones you have on Kilauea volcano. :)
Industrial Tourism has destroyed Zion NP. I know I lived in Springdale for 13 years. It's a full blown Zoo now.
Passam-se anos e as árvores e a grama não cresce
Six days just wasn’t enough to enjoy one of our greatest National Parks. Looking forward to another family vacation.
I'm trying to reach Noe! If you see this please call me 626 712-2870, I don't know how else to reach you
Imagine posting this on Friday before the fifth highest peak on record on Monday!
