From liftoff in California to first light over the Himalayas. 🚀🏔️
On Sept. 27, 2021, Landsat 9 launched from Vandenberg Space Force Base, beginning a new chapter in the Landsat mission of recording Earth’s changing land surfaces.
Landsat 9’s sensors brought advanced technology to detect more subtle differences, especially over water and dense forests, and more accurate surface temperature measurements. Together, Landsat 9 and Landsat 8 provide complete global land coverage every eight days.
That repeat coverage is what turns a single image into a story of change. On Oct. 31, 2021, its first day of data collection, Landsat 9 captured this sweeping view of the Himalayas.
Five years and over 26,000 orbits later, the USGS-NASA mission continues to add about 750 new observations per day to a Landsat record more than half a century in the making. Over 1.3 million Landsat 9 products are available to download from the USGS data access portals.
Happy fifth launch anniversary, Landsat 9! 🎉

Kīlauea Update 🌋
New vents that opened in Halemaʻumaʻu at Kīlauea’s summit on September 14-15 continued to erupt lava flows today, September 16. This activity is occurring within the summit caldera in Hawai‘i Volcanoes National Park.
The vents are on or near the northwest wall of Halemaʻumaʻu crater, just north of the existing vent complex that has been erupting lava fountains episodically since December 2024. Here’s a summary of observations from the USGS monitoring overflight this morning:
🔸 Lava continued to erupt from at least one of the five new vents, feeding lava flows on the crater floor
🔸 Spattering at the north vent continues to add to the cone that surrounds it, which is about 30-feet-high, with a 12-foot-wide opening
🔸 Spatter was also visible in the south and west vents
For more than a week, small lava flows and spatter bursts have continued—the longest stretch of low-level activity in this eruption since it began in December 2024.
Ground deformation patterns and earthquake activity indicate that the summit region of Kīlauea remains pressurized. This low-level eruptive activity could continue or additional changes could occur. USGS Hawaiian Volcano Observatory scientists continue to closely monitor Kīlauea and will issue additional notices as needed. All current activity is confined to the summit region of Kīlauea within Hawaiʻi Volcanoes National Park.

Preparedness starts with good information.
Before, during and after natural hazards, emergency managers need reliable information to understand what’s happening and make informed decisions.
USGS scientists collect, monitor, and analyze data on hazards such as earthquakes, floods, landslides, and volcanoes. We provide that science and data to emergency managers and other partners to help them prepare for and respond to hazards and their potential impacts on communities.

Why do scientists put bands on birds? KD1 gives us a chance to explain. 🦅
If you’ve been following the Big Bear Lake, California bald eagle family, you may have noticed a new eagle at the nest. KD1 (Kaydee) has recently been seen in the nest with Shadow following the loss of Jackie.
The band on KD1’s leg is more than an identification tag. It connects this eagle to the USGS’s Bird Banding Laboratory (BBL), which maintains more than 100 years of bird banding and encounter data.
The BBL manages more than 7,700 federal bird banding and marking permits and distributes more than 1 million bird bands each year. These data help scientists study bird movements, survival and populations.
Bald eagles are a powerful example of why this long-term science matters. Once severely threatened by contaminants such as DDT, their populations have made an extraordinary comeback.
From one banded eagle to more than a century of data, every observation helps tell the story.

Wildlife comes in all shapes, sizes and…gymnastic abilities. 🤸♂️
For National Wildlife Day, we're highlighting this rough-skinned newt (Taricha granulosa) from the Pacific Northwest.
Rough-skinned newts are known for their bright orange bellies and their ability to produce a powerful toxin that helps protect them from predators. They also have some unusual behaviors, including this defensive posture known as an “unkenreflex.”
We're not sure what this move is called in the gymnastics world, but we're impressed!
From amphibians to mammals, wildlife has evolved a wide range of adaptations and behaviors that help animals survive in their environments. USGS science is used by managers, policy makers, and others for decisions that conserve and enhance healthy fish and wildlife populations across the U.S.

🚨 An updated view of the Nation’s geology is now available!
The USGS National Cooperative Geologic Mapping Program has expanded the Cooperative National Geologic Map to include Alaska, Hawaii, and U.S. territories.
The map brings together decades of geologic mapping by state and federal surveys into an integrated, standardized view of the Nation’s geology. It provides information about geologic features at and beneath the land surface and provides insights into:
🔹The age and composition of geologic units across regions
🔹The regional distribution of geologic materials, which inform decisions about natural resources and geologic hazards
This expanded national view of our geology can help inform land-use decisions, infrastructure planning, natural resource management, and national security.
The map interface is a product of the National Geologic Map Database (NGMDB), a Federal-State collaborative effort that brings standardized geologic information to the public. This Cooperative map is integrated with the overall NGMDB database, which gives users access to more detailed maps and information about the Nation’s geology.

Gold in the trash? Not quite. But some mine waste may hold valuable minerals we need today. 🪨
Many of these minerals are essential to modern technologies and are found alongside commodities like gold, zinc, and coal. Mineral production, however, requires moving a lot of rock to reach the minerals we want. “Mine wastes” are the minerals and other materials left behind after the targeted minerals have been mined, processed, and refined.
Could mine waste, whether from legacy sites or current mining operations, become a new source of critical minerals and provide a way to help strengthen domestic mineral supply chains?
USGS scientists study mine wastes to:
⛏️Understand their potential as a source of critical minerals and other commodities
⛏️ Inform reclamation of mine lands
⛏️ Improve current and future mining operations
It’s part of a broader effort to strengthen domestic mineral supply chains and better understand the resources already present across the U.S.

Every national park has a story written in rock, water, and wildlife. USGS scientists are helping tell it.
Across many parks, USGS scientists study changing ecosystems, wildlife, water, and natural hazards. From tracking contaminants in aquatic food webs to monitoring glaciers, mapping river change, and studying how plants and animals adapt to changing conditions, this work helps us better understand these places and provides science and data to help park managers make informed decisions.
Swipe through for a look at some of the USGS science happening in parks across the country and follow along this week as we highlight more USGS science in our national parks.

Your phone started as rocks.
So did your laptop, your car battery, and the jumbotron displaying your favorite team’s score. Before any of that technology existed, the raw materials inside it (minerals!) had to be found and understood.
Minerals are naturally occurring substances with specific chemical compositions and crystal structures. They form through the Earth’s natural processes and are the building blocks of the rocks beneath our feet.
Some minerals are especially important to modern life and the technologies we rely on every day, many of which are critical minerals.
Critical minerals are both essential to the Nation’s economy or national security AND have supply chains that are vulnerable to disruptions, such as changes in trade, natural disasters, or global instability.
The USGS leads the U.S. government in developing the List of Critical Minerals. USGS scientists study how and where these minerals form, and collect and analyze data on global production, demand, trade, and recycling to identify risks to mineral supply chains that sometimes span the globe.
The USGS also delivers essential science to inform questions like:
🪨Where might undiscovered resources be, and how much?
🪨Is there critical mineral potential in waste materials left over from mining?
🪨How do critical minerals move through air, water, and soil?
From rock to resource, USGS science helps decision makers, industries, and the public better understand the materials that power our world.

What’s the difference between a rock and a mineral? 🪨
We’ve all picked up an interesting rock at some point, but what looks like a single rock may be made up of several different minerals. Think of minerals as the pieces, and rocks as the puzzle they make.
A mineral is a naturally occurring, non-living, solid substance with its own unique chemical makeup and structure. Common minerals include quartz, feldspar, mica, olivine, and calcite.
A rock, on the other hand, is a mix of one or more minerals bound together. Granite, basalt, limestone, and sandstone are all rocks made up of different mineral combinations.
USGS scientists study the mineral content of rocks and map them across the U.S. to understand where valuable mineral deposits might be found, information that helps meet the needs of modern manufacturing, technology, and energy production. Our scientists also study how rocks form and change over time, piecing together the story of our planet's 4.5-billion-year history.
