General Information Product 164

By: Lianne C. Ball

Mangrove ecosystems protect vulnerable coastlines from storm effects, recycle nutrients, stabilize shorelines, improve water quality, and provide habitat for commercial and recreational fish species as well as for threatened and endangered wildlife. U.S. Geological Survey scientists conduct research on mangrove ecosystems to provide reliable scientific information about their ecology, productivity, hydrological processes, carbon storage stress response, and restoration success. The Mangrove Science Network is a collaboration of USGS scientists focused on working with natural resource managers to develop and conduct research to inform decisions on mangrove management and restoration.

Amphibian Research and Monitoring Initiative (ARMI) 20th Anniversary Postcard <p> General Information Product 198 <p> By: Lianne C. Ball <p> <p> For additional information, contact: <p> Environments Program <p> https://www.usgs.gov/ecosystems/environments-program <p> Office of the Associate Director for Ecosystems <p> U.S. Geological Survey <p> 12201 Sunrise Valley Drive <p> Reston, VA 20192 <p> Amphibian Research and Monitoring Initiative (ARMI) <p> https://armi.usgs.gov/ <p> <p> Abstract <p> <p> The Amphibian Research and Monitoring Initiative (ARMI) was established within the U.S. Geological Survey in 2000 as a result of Congressional funding for Department of the Interior agencies to study amphibians and provide information to help manage amphibians and address threats. As the research arm of the Department of the Interior, the U.S. Geological Survey is providing scientific leadership for this effort with a team of research scientists who are global leaders in amphibian conservation science. This postcard has been developed to commemorate the 20th anniversary of ARMI. <p>

Wildland Fire Science at the U.S. Geological Survey—Supporting Wildland Fire and Land Management Across the United States postcard <p> <p> General Information Product 190 <p> <p> By: Paul F. Steblein, Mark P. Miller, and Suzanna C. Soileau <p> <p> First posted May 2, 2019 <p> Revised February 23, 2021 <p> For additional information, contact: <p> Wildland Fire Science Program <p> https://www.usgs.gov/special-topic/fire <p> U.S. Geological Survey <p> 12201 Sunrise Valley Drive <p> Reston, VA 20192 <p> Abstract <p> <p> The U.S. Geological Survey’s Wildland Fire Science Program produces information to identify the causes of wildfires, understand the impacts and benefits of both wildfires and prescribed fires, and help prevent and manage larger, catastrophic events. USGS fire scientists provide information and develop tools that are widely used by stakeholders to make decisions before, during, and after wildfires in desert, grassland, tundra, wetland, and forest ecosystems across the United States. Active areas of research include— <p> <p> Wildland fire behavior and risk management <p> Fire ecology, fire effects, and post-fire restoration of ecosystems <p> Risk assessments for human health, public safety, and the Nation’s infrastructure <p> Remote sensing and geospatial tools and data. <p>
