Climate and Land Use Change
The USGS undertakes scientific research, monitoring, remote
sensing, modeling, synthesis, and forecasting to address the
effects of climate and land use change on the Nation’s
resources. The resulting research and products are provided as
the scientific foundation upon which policymakers, natural
resource managers, and the public make informed decisions about
the management of natural resources on which they and others
depend.
Help shape the future of USGS science by weighing in on our
Science Strategy planning process.
Climate and Land Use Change Programs
Carbon Sequestration
Geologic carbon sequestration
Scientists at the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) are working to
assess both the potential capacities and the potential
limitations of the various forms of carbon sequestration and to
evaluate their geologic, hydrologic, and ecological
consequences. In accordance with the Energy Independence and
Security Act of 2007, the USGS has developed scientifically
based methods for assessment of biologic and geologic carbon
sequestration.
Earth Resources Observation and Science Center (EROS)
Three millionth Landsat scene
The USGS Earth Resources Observation and Science Center (EROS)
contributes to the Climate and Land Use Change Mission Area
through research and operational activities that enable the
understanding of local to global land change. The EROS
multidisciplinary staff uses their unique expertise in remote
sensing-based science and technologies to carry out basic and
applied research, data acquisition, systems engineering,
information access and management, and archive preservation to
address the Nation’s most critical needs.
Geographic Analysis and Monitoring (GAM)
NLCD
The goal of the USGS Geographic Analysis and Monitoring (GAM)
Program is to understand the patterns, processes, and
consequences of changes in land use, land condition, and land
cover at multiple spatial and temporal scales, resulting from
the interactions between human activities and natural systems.
Land Remote Sensing (LRS)
Satellite
The Land Remote Sensing Program operates the Landsat satellites
and provides the Nation's portal to the largest archive of
remotely sensed land data in the world, supplying access to
current and historical images. These images serve many purposes
from assessing the impact of natural disasters to monitoring
global agricultural production.
National Climate Change and Wildlife Science Center (NCCWSC)
Moose
The National Climate Change and Wildlife Science Center responds
to the research and management needs of partners and provides
science and technical support regarding the impacts of climate
change on fish, wildlife and ecological process. The Center is
taking the lead on establishing the Department of the Interior
regional Climate Science Centers.
Research and Development Program (R&D)
Team collaboration
The USGS Global Change Research and Development Program supports
fundamental scientific research to: 1) understand processes
controlling Earth system responses to global change over broad
temporal and spatial scales; and 2) understand and model impacts
of climate and land-cover change on ecosystems and other natural
resources.Climate and Land Use Change
