New USGS Video and Image Gallery

2008 December 10

by USGS Newsroom

Earth science images and videos are available at your fingertips at the new U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Video and Image Gallery (http://gallery.usgs.gov).

Arctic glaciers, hurricane flooding, and grizzly bears are just a few of the topics from around the globe captured in the gallery with high-quality, downloadable content.

The gallery offers a wide range of useful features to personalize your experience. Images and videos are searchable by keywords and groups with an option to subscribe to a Media RSS feed (Really Simple Syndication) so you can stay up to date on the topics you’re most interested in. Videos are offered in a Flash video format and play directly in your web browser, along with downloadable transcriptions and/or captions. Images can be downloaded in a thumbnail, medium or high-resolution version.

Visit the gallery often, as the site is continually growing with more multimedia products.

These free media can be reproduced in blogs, news stories, school projects and more -just remember to give proper credit to the USGS, please.

The gallery is a great way to keep up with what the USGS is doing in natural hazards, climate change projects, and natural resource research worldwide.
