USGS provides science and data on occurrence and distribution of geologic resources, including current and future energy resources and their wastes, and available carbon storage capacity. We also address environmental and socioeconomic effects of resource occurrence, extraction, use, and disposal.
USGS provides reliable information to answer your questions and provide assistance related to international energy science. Training and technology transfer often are integral to the technical assistance provided by USGS international activities.
International studies related to energy are conducted by scientists from throughout USGS on topics including:
- rare earth elements
- igneous and metamorphic petrology
- geochemistry and geophysics
- sedimentology
- stratigraphy
- tectonics and structural geology
- economic geology
- assessment of fossil fuels and selected non-hydrocarbon energy sources
- environmental and human health effects of energy use
- geothermal and wind energy.
