An Exciting Place to Work

Charles Groat, Director

"These are exciting and challenging times for the earth and life sciences. There are more opportunities and tools for bringing better understanding of earth and life systems to the broadest possible audience than ever before. Never has there been a greater need for first-class, objective science to inform all levels of decision making regarding earth processes, resources, and environments. The U.S. Geological Survey has all of the ingredients to become an even greater force domestically and globally in meeting these needs."

"The U.S. Geological Survey has a bright future, limited only by our imagination, energy, and commitment. In order to continue enhancing the vision, mission and history of the USGS, people like you are needed!"

Charles G. Groat
Former Director, U.S. Geological Survey
