USGS

Who Are They ?

Created by an act of Congress in 1879, the U.S. Geological Survey has evolved over the ensuing 125 years, matching its talent and knowledge to the progress of science and technology. The USGS is the sole science agency for the Department of the Interior. It is sought out by thousands of partners and customers for its natural science expertise and its vast earth and biological data holdings. 

It provides science about the natural hazards that threaten lives and livelihoods, the water, energy, minerals, and other natural resources we rely on, the health of our ecosystems and environment, and the impacts of climate and land-use change. Our scientists develop new methods and tools to enable timely, relevant, and useful information about the Earth and its processes.

 

History

On March 3, 1879, it was established by the passing of the Organic Act through Congress. Its main responsibilities were to map public lands, examine geological structure, and evaluate mineral resources. Over the next century, its mission expanded to include the research of groundwater, ecosystems, environmental health, natural hazards, and climate and land use change.
