U.S. Geological Survey - Core Science Analytics and Synthesis - Biocomplexity Thesaurus
We encourage you to explore the terminology resources listed in this section. Many offer specialized, in-depth coverage of particular fields of study, while others offer multi-lingual capabilities for high-level environmental, biological, and ecological terms.
Do you know of other terminology resources of interest to the biological, ecological, environmental, and natural resources communities that we haven't listed on this site? If so, tell us about them! Use the "Contact Us" form below to let us know about useful terminologies that we've overlooked.
In 2004, the CSA Ecotourism Thesaurus was also merged into the Biocomplexity Thesaurus.
Merging and reconciliation of the terms in these thesauri was performed by Jessica Milstead, a leading expert in the development of scientific thesauri.
In 2007, USGS assumed editorial management of the Biocomplexity Thesaurus, and now leads expansion of the thesaurus, addition or modification of terms, and development of tools and services to enable the use of the Thesaurus in both CSAS and external applications.
In 2008, USGS significantly expanded the Biocomplexity Thesaurus to include terminology that supports the fire ecology and management communities. More than 2,000 new concepts were added to the Thesaurus. This expansion was made possible by the very generous contributions of the following terminologies by their managing organizations:
The USGS Core Science Analytics & Synthesis (CSAS) Program is committed to maintaining and expanding the Biocomplexity Thesaurus to support science informatics initiatives within USGS, and externally.
