Scientific Investigations Reports

Reports in this series are generally aimed at a core professional and non-core professional audience. Scientific Investigations Reports, like Professional Papers, contain significant data and interpretations and are reports of lasting scientific importance, but they are generally more limited in scientific scope and/or geographic coverage. In addition to scientific reports, the series includes general manuals, field trip guidebooks, road logs, proceedings and abstracts for USGS-sponsored meetings, and general reference materials. A Scientific Investigations Report may consist of a collection of related reports on a specific topic published as individual chapters or as a single volume.

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