The AzWSC's mission is to collect and interpret high quality, impartial scientific information to provide resource managers and the public with the knowledge required to understand and manage the critical water resources of Arizona and the Southwest. Visit us at the USGS Flagstaff Open House to learn more about our work!

The SBSC conducts quality, objective research on the terrestrial and aquatic systems of the Colorado Plateau, Colorado River and its tributaries, drylands across the Southwest United States, and beyond. Scientists within SBSC’s two Branches, Terrestrial Dryland Ecology and River Ecosystem Science, study biology, ecology, and natural processes to understand the challenges facing western ecosystems. Knowledge gained from research is translated into actionable information that may assist the policy makers, land managers, and practitioners tasked with making decisions about and implementing land and ecosystem management.

GMEG focuses on a wide variety of subjects encompassing geologic processes, mineral resources, energy potential, and paleoclimate (climate of the past) processes. GMEG's research area primarily covers the western United States. The GMEG group here at the Flagstaff Science Campus predominantly focuses our research on the geologic evolution of the of the Grand Canyon and the greater Colorado River region. This work involves the production of geologic maps and their associated data, such as rock unit ages and chemistry. Visit us at the USGS Flagstaff Open House to learn more about our work!
