This U.S. Geological Survey strategy describes how the agency aims to connect its research on the Earth, water, ecosystems, resources and hazards in an increasingly data-rich scientific environment. It presents a mission and vision before examining the challenges and opportunities that shape the agency’s work.
The discussion brings together observations, data acquisition and management, scientific understanding, predictive capabilities and the delivery of useful information. Later sections consider the scientific and organizational conditions needed to achieve the vision, the strategic planning framework and the values that guide the work. Photographs illustrate the range of field environments and research activities involved. The title identifies a 2020–2030 planning period; this complete Circular was published in 2021 and retains its original figures, photographs and references.
