The Volcano Hazards Program: <p> <p> Strategic Science Plan for 2022 - 2026 <p> <p> Introduction <p> <p> The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Volcano Hazards Program (VHP) Strategic Science Plan identifies concrete and realistic goals that advance the VHP’s scientific and operational mission, prioritizes them according to their immediate importance and likelihood of success, and recommends how the VHP can best achieve them, either independently or in collaboration with academic, government, and other partners. The plan addresses goals that share three distinguishing characteristics: innovation, importance, and feasibility over a five-year time scale. Although not stressed here, the important day-to-day operations, which have made the VHP (also referred to as “program”) so successful and effective since its inception, will continue. The new and innovative work proposed below supplements—rather than supplants—the VHP’s existing efforts, which remain essential for fulfilling its primary mission. Pursuing the following major strategic goals will enhance program operations over the next five years: <p>

<p> U.S. Geological Survey Wildland Fire Science Strategic Plan, 2021–26 <p> <p> First posted February 23, 2021 <p> <p> For additional information, contact: Wildland Fire Science Program U.S Geological Survey 12201 Sunrise Valley Drive Reston, VA 20192 <p> Contact Pubs Warehouse: https://pubs.er.usgs.gov/contact <p> <p> Abstract <p> <p> The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Wildland Fire Science Strategic Plan defines critical, core fire science capabilities for understanding fire-related and fire-responsive earth system processes and patterns, and informing management decision making. Developed by USGS fire scientists and executive leadership, and informed by conversations with external stakeholders, the Strategic Plan is aligned with the needs of the fire science stakeholder community–fire, land, natural resource, and emergency managers from Federal, State, Tribal, and community organizations, as well as members of the scientific community. The Strategic Plan is composed of four integrated priorities, each with associated goals and specific strategies for accomplishing the goals: Priority 1: Produce state-of-the-art, actionable fire science; Priority 2: Engage stakeholders in science production and science delivery; Priority 3: Effectively communicate USGS fire science capacity, products, and information to a broad audience; and Priority 4: Enhance USGS organizational structure and advance support for fire science. The priorities of this Strategic Plan define the USGS’s commitment to producing and delivering cutting edge fire science, information, and decision-support tools in support of national, regional, and local priorities and stakeholder needs. <p>
