One of the primary missions of the USGS is to address the science needs of Department of Interior bureaus, particularly those that manage natural resources and lands. This mission is fulfilled through the research and other activities of USGS scientists but also specifically through three USGS nationally-funded programs listed below.
Return to Ecosystems
Each year, USGS scientists work with staff of other Department of Interior agencies to learn about their science information needs and how best to address those questions. On the pages below, we describe three specific programs that fund this collaborative work with the National Park Service, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, and the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management.
Below are other science projects associated with this project.

Andrew Reeves retrieving samples within Izembek National Wildlife Refuge, Alaska as part of USGS research to investigate the persistence of avian influenza viruses in North American wetlands. USGS scientists and colleagues found that influenza A viruses may remain infectious in surface waters of northern wetlands for more than seven months.
