After a very long stay at Pine Pond #Perseverance has now moved further down hill, apparently reaching the bottom of the Witch Hazel Hill area, where it has spent the last 120 sols examining rocks.
The path shown is a guess. Elevations are from the Octavia E. Butler landing location.
The map was made in #QGIS, using #NASA's #MMGIS and #HiRISE and #USGS imagery and DTMs.
If you are into these things, quite a spectacular view of Kilauea erupting:

It appears as a little blip at 9:10 am on the #USGS seismic equipment at the #WestportObservatory, but that's the Greenback, Tennessee 4.1 #earthquake 815 miles distant that shook the Southeast this morning. It was felt in Knoxville and Chattanooga, Tennessee, to Atlanta, Georgia; Asheville, North Carolina; and Greenville, South Carolina. https://ow.ly/4NOM50VQsAl

That's a big 7.4 magnitude #earthquake shaking the #USGS equipment at the Westport Observatory this morning, 6,766 miles away from #WestportCT, just off the coast of #Ushuaia, #Argentina.
Good bye flood and drought warnings

Aqueous #geochemistry this semester! We've moved from simple fluid-mineral equilibria to more complex models. As a teaching tool, I developed with help of our Uni's IT folks, an online portal to #USGS model software, WEB-PHREEQ. Anyone can use this.
Of course the students download the more capable desktop version for their projects (also, yes, I know there are more advanced portals out there). #geology

#Butterfly populations declining rapidly in #US with 22% disappearing in 2 decades
A comprehensive study found 22% of #butterflies in #UnitedStates disappeared between 2000 and 2020... The researchers behind the Science study used data from more than 12.6 million butterflies spanning 342 individual species, drawing from 76,000 surveys across 35 nationwide monitoring programs. Funded by the #USGS, the study was the first to integrate such a vast dataset, its authors said.

I was reading - with a mug of tea - The Patch (link above) by John McPhee, a decades-old favourite author of mine - and came across this short essay amongst many fine others…

@USGS
This sweet little #chickadee that I see regularly in my yard, has a deformed beak. After googling it, I discovered this is a condition called #akd avian keratin disorder. It was recommended that I report it to a research group at the #USGS Alaska division. (Interesting since I live in MA).
#Birds with this disorder seem to have higher mortality rates, but some do ok. This one is seemingly ok at the moment. It looks worse for wear because I snapped this #photo while it was sleeting.
So how deeply does this person sleep?
When I woke, I looked at my iPhone on its recharging stand. I quickly took a screenshot. Look at the time marker.
This makes a blaring noise when it occurs.
Very?

@etherdiver same here, alert, then two seconds later some door rattles. Cool. Thanks @usgsearthquakes #USGS #earthquake
A merit-based federal workforce, rather than a political patronage system, has been crucial for improving US #earthquake safety and disaster response. Quake researchers explain why retaining these experts is vital for public safety. https://buff.ly/ge0rWzN

That's a big 6.9 magnitude #earthquake on the Reykjanes Ridge moving the needles on the #USGS seismic equipment 2,076 miles distant at the #WestportObservatory this morning. No Tsunami alerts issued. https://ow.ly/G0a550VtX1Z
