WELCOME to Connections: Partnerships in Science

As the science bureau of the DOI, the USGS through its programs within the Geologic Hazards, Resources, and Landscape Processes activity, provides the Earth science information and technologies that are critical to mission achievement of the Department land and resource management agencies.

Connections: Partnerships in Science, developed by the Geology Discipline of the USGS, explores the collaborative geologic work of our USGS scientists and other Bureaus at the Department of the Interior.

"Conservation through Cooperation, Consultation, and Communication."

Gale Norton, Secretary of the Interior

"…We have to work very hard to work collaboratively with those [government agencies] who have comparable science interests to ours and those who can make good use of our products."

Chip Groat, USGS Director

"Our scientific findings and research have real value to decisionmakers. It is through robust partnerships especially with our sister Interior agencies that USGS science achieves its maximum societal impact and relevance. I have asked our geologic staff at all levels to redouble their efforts to develop these productive and fruitful alliances. Connections: Partnerships in Science is designed to communicate and celebrate our collective successes."

P. Patrick Leahy, Associate Director for Geology, USGS

Relation to Departmental Strategic Goals:

The USGS geologic hazards programs support DOI's Serving Communities goal to protect lives, resources, and property, which is aimed at making information available to communities to use in developing hazard mitigation, preparedness, and avoidance plans.

Earthquakes, Volcano and Landslides, Global Seismic Network, and Geomagnetism Programs

The USGS landscape processes programs support DOI's Serving Communities goal to advance knowledge through scientific leadership and inform decisions through application of science, which is aimed at expanding the scientific knowledge base and enhancing the quality and objectivity of DOI science.

Earth Surface Dynamics, National Cooperative Geologic Mapping, and Coastal and Marine Geology Programs

The USGS resources programs support DOI's Resource Use goal to manage or influence resource use to enhance public benefit, promote responsible use, and ensure optimal-value energy and non-energy minerals, which is aimed at ensuring data availability to managers to make informed decisions about use of resource.
