The @USGeologicalSurvey National Land Cover Database (NLCD) informs the study of land change from natural or man-made disasters. Note the huge swath of shrubland that gave way to grass between 2011 and 2013 after large wildfires burned through Nevada's northern border. By 2019, small patches of shrubland begin to reappear.

United States Geological Survey (USGS) captured Hawaii's Kilauea volcano spewing flowing lava from its crater in its latest eruption. The USGS Hawaiian Volcano Observatory said another fountaining episode is likely, with the highest probability between Sunday (November 23) and Tuesday (November 25). Located in a closed area of Hawaii Volcanoes National Park, Kilauea is one of the world's most active volcanoes and has been erupting intermittently since December 23, 2024 #hawaii #volcano #kilauea
