Natural Hazards Science Strategy- Public Review Release

In 2007, the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) published a Bureau Science Strategy Facing Tomorrow’s Challenges—U.S. Geological Survey Science in the Decade 2007–2017. It provided a view of the future, establishing science goals that reflected the USGS’s fundamental mission in areas of societal impact such as energy and minerals, climate and land use change, ecosystems, natural hazards, environmental health, and water. Intended to inform long-term program planning, the strategy emphasizes how USGS science can make substantial contributions to the well-being of the Nation and the world.
