Team
Overview
The western
region of the United States is the most geologically active and varied
part of the country. The role of the team is to provide the geologic information
required to understand the interactions among humans, plants, animals,
air, water, soil, and rock on the Earth's surface region. This information
is provided by the publication of a variety of geologic maps and databases,
and scientific reports, and by participation in programs designed to improve
the understanding of geologic information and the ability to use it for
informed decision making. The team is composed of geologists, geophysicists,
paleontologists, and support personnel located throughout the western
states.
