Land Research
Cutting-Edge Science to Preserve the Nation’s Land
The Land Research Program in EPA's Office of Research and Development (ORD) provides innovative science solutions to preserve the nation's land, restore contaminated properties, and protect public health from exposure to environmental contaminants. The program is one of eight interdisciplinary research programs established by ORD to address EPA's highest priority research and technology needs.
This site serves as a resource on the research and technology developed by the LRP and provides an overview of the program's strategic research goals and activities.
