It highlights the USGS research program on the Desert Tortoise and the role of that research in managing desert environments to allow the species to recover and escape the threat of extinction. The program was originally released on the internet in segmented form in 2010. This re-release presents the program in its entirety. The program was produced jointly by the USGS Western Ecological Research Center (www.werc.usgs.gov) in cooperation with the US Fish and Wildlife Service, Desert Tortoise Recovery Office.

This twelve minute video follows walruses in their summer sea ice habitat and shows how USGS biologists use satellite radio tags to track their movements and behavior. The information identifies areas of special importance to walruses during sparse summer sea ice and as human presence increases in the region from oil drilling and activities such as shipping and tourism now possible with less ice.

]]> <![CDATA["Fog and Wind" - Cloud Forests of Santa Rosa Island]]> http://gallery.usgs.gov/videos/594 Fog and wind are ever present on Santa Rosa Island -- one of the Channel Islands offshore of Los Angeles and southern California. Fog condenses on twigs and leaves of island woodland plants, dripping and soaking into the ground. These �cloud forests� harvest the fog and provide critical water for wildlife and the ecosystem.

But grazing in decades past nearly eliminated the native woodlands and changed the fog ecosystem and island hydrology. Now, USGS scientist Kathryn McEachern is working with Channel Island National Park scientists and other collaborators to restore the cloud forests of Santa Rosa Island. As they return, the forests will again harvest water for the island, returning moisture to soils, springs and streams.

But what will happen to these marsh ecosystems under sea level rise scenarios? Will we see shifts in vegetation and animal species, or lose some marsh ecosystems altogether? USGS scientists are surveying Pacific Coast marshes to model sea level rise scenarios for the next 100 years -- helping coastal planners visualize the threats to marsh habitat under current conditions, and work towards long-term management strategies.

]]> <![CDATA[Climate Connections: Questions from Washington, DC]]> http://gallery.usgs.gov/videos/563 America has questions about climate change, and the USGS has real answers. In this episode of Climate Connections, USGS scientists answer questions gathered from students at H.D. Woodson High School in Washington, DC. Questions include:

If you could tell the public one thing about climate change, what would it be?
Does climate change impact humans or animals more?
How will climate change affect DC?
When did climate change begin?

]]> <![CDATA[Pacific Nearshore Project: Dry Suits]]> http://gallery.usgs.gov/videos/558 In order to study sea otters in the wild, research divers on the Pacific Nearshore Project must brave frigid waters from Alaska to California. Here's an explanation of how this special equipment works. The Pacific Nearshore Project is a multinational, multiagency project investigating sea otters as health indicators of coastal waters and marine resources from California north through Canada and Alaska. The project being conducted by researchers from an integrated partnership of world-class research institutions led by USGS. Learn more at http://on.doi.gov/nearshore.

]]> <![CDATA[Cold Water Survival]]> http://gallery.usgs.gov/videos/548 In preparation for marine work in the cold waters off Alaska professionals from academia, industry and government must, every few years, take an offshore survival class to increase their chances of survival in the event of a seafaring mishap. This short video is a brief look at the non-classroom portion of an offshore cold water survival class taught by Learn to Return Survival Systems, Inc. of Anchorage, Alaska. USGS video producer Stephen M. Wessells recorded the footage while attending the class. Time Lapse video is used to compress much of the action into quicker segments that illustrate some of the strategies used for signaling and survival.
