GIS and Data

Activities support the science being conducted in our other Branches. Primary functions are data analysis, management, inventory, and delivery, particularly for large geochemical and geophysical datasets in geospatial format for USGS science and land management agency use. Center outreach, science communication, and IT support functions are also housed here.
