The Core Science Systems Mission Area delivers nationally focused Earth systems and information science that provides fundamental research and data that underpins all Mission Areas of the USGS, the USGS Science Strategy, and Presidential, Secretarial, and societal priorities.

—Kevin T. Gallagher, Associate Director, Core Science Systems

The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Core Science Systems (CSS) Mission Area spans the Earth’s “Critical Zone” (National Research Council, 2001). The Critical Zone is the near-surface interface that extends from the tops of the trees down to the base of the deepest groundwater.

CSS provides a foundation for all USGS Mission Areas, as well as for the mission of the Department of the Interior (DOI), in the following ways:

•,,Conducts basic and applied science research and development
•,,Fosters broad understanding and application of analyses and information
•,, Provides a framework for data and information sharing
•,, Creates new geospatially enabled data and information
•,, Provides technical expertise in standards and methods
•,, Provides technical expertise in standards and methods
•,,Builds and facilitates partnerships and innovation

Animal migrations developed over millennia commonly follow migration corridors—unique routes for each species—to move among seasonal habitats. Changes along those corridors, whether from human development (buildings, roads, dams) or from natural disturbances (for example, climate change, drought, fire, flooding, or invasive species), can make them harder to navigate. The U.S. Geological Survey’s Ecosystems Mission Area provides science that assists land managers in mapping, enhancing, protecting, and reconnecting migration corridors critical for diverse fish and wildlife populations that migrate, such as Odocoileus hemionus (mule deer) and and Antilocapra americana (pronghorn), trout and salmon, salamanders, tortoises, bats, and Danaus plexippus (monarch butterflies).

USGS SCIENCE TO SUPPORT WILDLIFE DISEASE

U.S. Geological Survey Science to Support Wildlife Disease Management Fact Sheet 2023-3008 Ecosystems Mission Area By: M. Camille Hopkins and Suzanna C. Soileau This product is not available for order, it can only be downloaded from here (click on image) or within the Publications Warehouse at https://pubs.er.usgs.gov/publication/fs20233008 First posted April 28, 2023 For additional information, contact: Associate Director, Ecosystems Mission Area https://www.usgs.gov/mission-areas/ecosystems U.S. Geological Survey 12201 Sunrise Valley Drive Mail Stop 300 Reston, VA 20192 Introduction The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) serves a principal role in conducting wildlife disease outbreak investigations, surveillance, and ecological research to support management of diseases in free-ranging native wildlife. Approximately 60 percent of emerging human infectious diseases such as COVID-19, are zoonotic, meaning they are transmitted between animals and humans and 70 percent of these diseases originate in wildlife (Jones and others, 2008). The effects of emerging wildlife diseases are global and profound, often resulting in economic and agricultural impacts, declines in wildlife populations, and ecological disturbances.
