The USGS is sought out by thousands of partners and stakeholders across the country for our expertise in earth and biological science that supports public resources in wild and urban spaces, and all landscapes in-between.
Biology in the USGS
What is the current and future status of species of conservation concern? How do hurricanes impact ecosystems? Where are critical big game migration routes? Will favored fishing spots remain productive in a warming climate? Whether we’re putting GPS collars on grizzly bears, tracking the spread of avian influenza, or identifying strategies to control invasive plants, our scientists are informing the sustainable management and conservation of the Nation’s biological resources.
The USGS is the biological research arm of the U.S. Department of the Interior, providing unbiased science to support the conservation of public lands and their resources. But our value doesn’t stop with our federal partners. USGS biological research answers important questions being asked by local, state, and tribal natural resource managers, emergency managers, energy developers, and policymakers, and the American public. In this role, the USGS studies living things – plants, animals, bacteria, and more – and their interactions with each other, humans, and the landscape.
