Fact Sheets

Fact Sheets are generally aimed at the general public; they may also be aimed at non-core professional and core professional audiences. Fact Sheets present a wide variety of topics covered concisely and clearly in 1 to 4 pages; the focus is on USGS programs, projects, and data and how they address issues of public interest. Fact Sheets may include, for example, progress reports of mission programs, preliminary reports on topical investigations or catastrophic events, hazard and resource assessments, classification procedures, and so on.

Because they are of wide, popular interest but are generally of little archival value, Fact Sheets should not be used for significant new scientific data or interpretation that has not been published elsewhere. Fact Sheets may be used to summarize or publicize results of previously published studies and their implications or to release new information about USGS programs and products

Publications in this series from the Western Region will be linked from here as they are produced.
