Avian Influenza: Research by the USGS and Partners Avian Influenza: Research by the USGS and Partners
The USGS Ecosystems Mission Area provides science to understand wildlife diseases, including avian influenza (AI). Avian influenza viruses occur naturally in wild birds such as ducks, geese, swans, and gulls. These viruses generally do not cause illness in wild birds but they can be highly pathogenic and cause illness and death in poultry and wildlife. Learn more with this geonarrative.

USGS Science Collaboration Portal for the Colorado River Basin USGS Science Collaboration Portal for the Colorado River Basin
To help resource managers plan and mitigate long-term drought impacts in the Colorado River Basin, the USGS has launched a platform that brings together science, data, and mapping and analytical tools from across the basin in a central location.

Conservation Planning Tool for the Bi-State Distinct Population Segment of Greater Sage-grouse 1.0.0 Conservation Planning Tool for the Bi-State Distinct Population Segment of Greater Sage-grouse 1.0.0
A decision support tool for conifer treatment to restore greater sage-grouse ( Centrocercus urophasianus) habitat within the Bi-State, California and Nevada, area. This tool provides a science-based approach for prioritizing pinyon and juniper removal to improve habitat for greater sage-grouse in the Bi-State Distinct Population Segment.
Building a Cloud Forest From the Ground Up Building a Cloud Forest From the Ground Up
California's Channel Islands were once home to cloud forests, but this unique ecosystem was lost. USGS & partners are bringing them back.
Habitat Vulnerability Assessment for Wintering American Black Ducks Habitat Vulnerability Assessment for Wintering American Black Ducks
We estimated food availability among five main wetland cover types used by overwintering American Black Ducks: subtidal, fresh water, high marsh, low marsh, and mudflat. Bioenergetics models used to inform North American Waterfowl Management Plan (NAWMP) can be simplified into two major components: energetic demand and energetic supply.
