USGS Fact Sheets (listed by Environmental Theme)
USGS activities in the environment theme area
include studies of natural physical, chemical, and
biological processes, and of the results of human actions;
the goal is to provide the understanding and scientific
information needed to recognize and mitigate adverse
impacts and to sustain the environment. Activities include
data collection, long-term assessments, ecosystem
analysis, predictive modeling, and process research on the
occurrence, distribution, transport, and fate of
contaminants as well as the impacts of contaminants on
biota.
