San Francisco Bay-Delta

The Bay-Delta is a nexus for challenging issues about water, ecosystems, and human use. USGS science helps address key problems and uncertainties.

The Salton Sea is facing many challenges as inflows and water levels decline. USGS science helps identify problems and evaluate possible solutions.

Monitor effects of drought through data collection & research. Study the current drought. Support successful planning & science-based decision-making.

Scientists conduct a wide array of basic and applied research to better understand the natural hazards of earthquakes to protect lives and property.

To understand the physical impacts of climate change and sea-level rise, we research rates, causes, and consequences of land and climate change.

A review of benthic faunal surveys in San Francisco Bay

During the past 60 years, considerable effort has been expended in studies of the relations of the biotic community and physicochemical characteristics of San Francisco Bay water. In very recent years these studies have emphasized the relations between the 'state of health' of bottom-living invertebrates (the benthos) and the levels of pollutants...
