U.S. Geological Survey Energy and Minerals science strategy: A resource lifecycle approach U.S. Geological Survey Energy and Minerals science strategy: A resource lifecycle approach
Executive Summary The economy, national security, and standard of living of the United States depend heavily on adequate and reliable supplies of energy and mineral resources. Based on population and consumption trends, the Nation’s use of energy and minerals can be expected to grow, driving the demand for ever broader scientific understanding of resource formation, location, and...

Data resources for the Wyoming Landscape Conservation Initiative (WLCI) Integrated Assessment (IA) Data resources for the Wyoming Landscape Conservation Initiative (WLCI) Integrated Assessment (IA)
The data contained in this report were compiled, modified, and analyzed for the Wyoming Landscape Conservation Initiative (WLCI) Integrated Assessment (IA). The WLCI is a long-term science based effort to assess and enhance aquatic and terrestrial habitats at a landscape scale in southwest Wyoming while facilitating responsible energy development through local collaboration and...

Mapping surface disturbance of energy-related infrastructure in southwest Wyoming--An assessment of methods Mapping surface disturbance of energy-related infrastructure in southwest Wyoming--An assessment of methods
We evaluated how well three leading information-extraction software programs (eCognition, Feature Analyst, Feature Extraction) and manual hand digitization interpreted information from remotely sensed imagery of a visually complex gas field in Wyoming. Specifically, we compared how each mapped the area of and classified the disturbance features present on each of three remotely sensed...

Crucial nesting habitat for gunnison sage-grouse: A spatially explicit hierarchical approach Crucial nesting habitat for gunnison sage-grouse: A spatially explicit hierarchical approach
Gunnison sage-grouse (Centrocercus minimus) is a species of special concern and is currently considered a candidate species under Endangered Species Act. Careful management is therefore required to ensure that suitable habitat is maintained, particularly because much of the species' current distribution is faced with exurban development pressures. We assessed hierarchical nest site...

U.S. Geological Survey Science for the Wyoming Landscape Conservation Initiative-2010 Annual Report U.S. Geological Survey Science for the Wyoming Landscape Conservation Initiative-2010 Annual Report
This is the third report produced by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) for the Wyoming Landscape Conservation Initiative (WLCI) to detail annual work activities. The first report described activities for 2007 and 2008, and the second report covered work activities for FY09. This third report covers work activities conducted in FY2010, and it continues the 2009 approach of reporting on...
