Man-Made Chemicals Found in Drinking Water at Low Levels
Man-Made Chemicals Found in Drinking Water at Low LevelsSafe drinking water supplies are critical to maintaining and preserving public health. But how healthy is that resource? A recent USGS study found low levels of man-made chemicals in water entering and leaving drinking water treatment plants. USGS lead scientist Greg Delzer explains the findings of this study.

Prehistoric Climate Provides Clues to Future Changes
Prehistoric Climate Provides Clues to Future ChangesMore accurate predictions of future climate and improved understanding of today’s warming are possible with new data from the first comprehensive reconstruction of an extreme warm period. Past warm periods provide real data on climate change and are natural laboratories for understanding the global climate system.

Gas Hydrates on Alaska's North Slope
The USGS estimates that there are 85.4 trillion cubic feet of undiscovered, technically recoverable gas from natural gas hydrates on the Alaskan North Slope. This is the first-ever resource estimate of technically recoverable natural gas hydrates in the world.
