USGS Fact Sheets (listed by Resources Theme)
USGS activities in the natural resources theme area inventory
the occurrence and assess the quantity and quality of natural resources. Activities
also include monitoring changes to natural resources, understanding the processes
that form and affect them, and forecasting the changes that may be expected
in the future.
