2022 USGS Risk Research Projects

By Office of Risk and Resilience

The 2022 USGS Risk Research Projects highlight interdisciplinary research focused on improving risk communication, supporting informed decision-making, strengthening community resilience, and developing science-based tools to help reduce the impacts of natural hazards on people, property, and natural resources.

A site prioritization tool for invasive species management: Integrating diverse spatial data to improve decision making A site prioritization tool for invasive species management: Integrating diverse spatial data to improve decision making

Resource managers are tasked with protecting natural areas from invasive species with limited resources. Further, invasive management goals can vary greatly based on different management priorities specific to management agencies or taxa of interest. The site prioritization tool for invasive species management addresses these challenges by creating a platform to view and combine diverse...
