USGS Emergency Management 101: Onsite Communication and Leadership
USGS Emergency Management 101: Onsite Communication and LeadershipDuring a geologic emergency response, scientists can be integral to the response by distilling complex, technical information for decision-makers. As a scientist assigned to an emergency response and a member of an Incident Management Team (IMT), the scientist must understand their role and how they can help decision-makers make informed decisions.

Coral reefs are important for supporting biodiversity, fisheries, tourism, and coastal protection, but are in decline worldwide, primarily due to extreme heat waves and subsequent coral bleaching, in addition to other stressors.

During the late Oligocene to early Miocene, the Marysvale volcanic field of southwestern Utah experienced three consecutive, catastrophic, mega-scale collapse events: the Sevier, Markagunt, and Black Mountains gravity slides, which we refer to collectively as the Marysvale gravity slide complex (MGSC).
