I study small fish in small streams and co-lead a team that makes interactive data viz tools to help make complex data and models easier to understand: www.usgs.gov/apps/ecosheds and now westbrookdataviz.org
I love the things we see in streams in the Flow Photo Explorer www.usgs.gov/apps/ecoshed.... Here, in Nevada, a tumbleweed hangs around from Feb to May, finally getting pushed out by some high flow. In case you were wondering, it showed up between 11:15 and 11:30 pm on Feb 4 :)

What happens to small streams during a hurricane? Here are time-lapse photos (every 15 min) from our Flow Photos Explorer of 3 sites in PA during Helene. Shocking how high they get and that any fish can survive. They are so flashy, we might even have missed the peak. [gif by Phillip Goodling]
