Each of us has a story. The U.S. Geological Survey employs 8,000 people, each with a unique role to support the agency’s mission of providing impartial science to the Nation. USGS science can inform and guide decisions on important societal issues. Here, we present brief stories of USGS scientists working to understand and address climate change.
