USGS is an unbiased, multi-disciplinary
science organization that provides timely
data and information on Biology, Geography,
Geology, and, Water
USGS is dedicated to providing timely,
relevant, and impartial studies of the
landscape, our natural resources, and
the natural hazards that threaten us.

USGS Science Strategy
Facing Tomorrow’s Challenges – U.S. Geological Survey Science in
the Decade 2007-2017
Six Science strategic directions
Understanding Ecosystems and Predicting Ecosystem Change:
Ensuring the Nation’s Economic and Environmental Future
Climate Variability and Change: Clarifying the Record and
Assessing Consequences
Energy and Minerals for America’s Future: Providing a Scientific
Foundation for Resource Security, Environmental Health,
Economic Vitality, and Land Management
A National Hazards, Risk, and Resilience Assessment Program:
Ensuring the Long-Term Health and Wealth of the Nation
The Role of Environment and Wildlife in Human Health: A System
that Identifies Environmental Risk to Public Health in America
A Water Census of the United States: Quantifying, Forecasting,
and Securing Freshwater for America’s Future
Refocus on Integrated Science (interdisciplinary approach)
USGS Regions (Current)
National Geospatial Program Components
The NGP provides leadership for USGS geospatial
coordination, production and service activities:
The National Map
Geospatial One Stop
National Atlas
Geographic Names
Geospatial Research
Emergency Operations and Hazards Response
National Geospatial Program Partnerships
Partnerships are the foundation of the NGP:
Leverage funding across organizations to provide significant
cost savings
Reduce redundancy in geospatial data acquisition and
stewardship (“collect once use many times”)
Ensure availability of common base data to a
broad range of users and applications
USGS is an integrator and facilitator
of partner data
FY10 program - $14 million; FY11 - ?
Partner leveraging in the past several
years has averaged approximately $7
for every $1 invested by USGS
