Powell Center Working Groups - Class of 2025
The Powell Center is pleased to announce two new working groups beginning in FY25. These projects were ranked by the Science Advisory Board and reflect the highest quality science, breadth, depth, and relevance reflective of the mission of the USGS.
The Powell Center is pleased to announce six new working groups beginning in FY25. These proposals were selected by the Science Advisory Board from a total of 22 submissions and reflect much of the breadth of USGS Earth system science. Two will be co-sponsored and three are additionally supported by funds from the National Science Foundation (NSF).
The John Wesley Powell Center for Analysis and Synthesis serves as a catalyst for innovative thinking in Earth system science research by providing the time and creative space, as well as the computational, data manipulation, and data management resources to promote synthesis of existing information and emergent knowledge. The USGS congratulates these new working groups and welcomes them to the Powell Center.
Please join me in wishing success to our new Working Groups:
