: The Confederated Salish and Kootenai Tribes manage water resources on the Flathead Indian Reservation in western Montana. Workshop participants tour a lake on the reservation during an indigenous water workshop in 2018.

: Baldcypress knees emerge from a wetland in the headwaters of the White Oak River in eastern North Carolina.

: Saddletree Swamp, a tributary of the Lumbee River, flooded in the wake of Hurricane Matthew, damaging homes and infrastructure.

: From the summit of Mount Mitchell (2,038m), students view clouds washing over the spruce-fir forest of southern Appalachian “Sky Islands.”

: Palmetto Swamp is a freshwater-dependent coastal wetland at Goose Creek State Park on North Carolina’s Albemarle-Pamlico Peninsula.

: FOR 420/520 students canoe along the Black River.

: Researchers collect water samples from Big Marsh, a tributary of the Lumbee River, after Hurricane Matthew caused record-breaking floods to the region.

: Natural Resources students from the National Agricultural University of Honduras learn about stream discharge and water quality monitoring on the Talgua River in the Sierra de Agalta National Park.

: Coweeta Hydrologic Lab is an experimental watershed in western North Carolina. The Albert Mountain fire tower provides an excellent vista of the lab and surrounding Blue Ridge Mountains.

: NC State students tour Cullasaja Falls during a watershed hydrology field trip to western North Carolina.

: Stream metabolism experiment in Montana

: Students sit outdoors for a written exam at the National Agricultural University of Honduras. The campus is located in the town of Catacamas in central Honduras

: Elevation survey at Goose Creek

: Honduras Fieldwork

: The Lumbee community of Prospect is the proposed terminus for the Atlantic Coast Pipeline, a 600-mile pipeline designed to carry shale gas from the central Appalachian Mountains to the east coast of the United States.

: The “Phone Booth” overlook on US Forest Service lands immediately adjacent to the Tenderfoot Creek Experimental Forest in central Montana. One of the few places with cell phone reception during the mid-2000s and a favorite spot to watch sunrises with students after pre-dawn fieldwork.

: Lab members and local residents install sensors to measure streamflow and water quality in the Talgua River, the main water supply for farming communities in the region.
