Abstract

The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Fundamental Science Practices (FSP) are a set of standard principles fundamental to how USGS conducts and carries out its science activities and how resulting information products and data are reviewed, approved, and released. These policies, practices, philosophical premises, and operational principles serve as the foundation for all USGS research and monitoring activities and apply to all levels of the organization. The strength and future of the USGS depend on following these practices. USGS FSP were initiated in 2006 and fully implemented in 2009 to consolidate and standardize science practices across multiple scientific mission areas and science disciplines within the USGS.

INVASIVE CARP STRATEGIC FRAMEWORK, 2023
U.S. Geological Survey Invasive Carp Strategic Framework, 2023–27 <p> Circular 1504 <p> Biological Threats and Invasive Species Research Program <p> By: Duane Chapman, Jon Amberg, Robin Calfee, Enrika Hlavacek, Jon Hortness, P. Ryan Jackson, David C. Kazyak, Brent Knights, and James Roberts <p> <p> For additional information, contact: <p> Associate Director, Ecosystems Mission Area <p> https://www.usgs.gov/mission-areas/ecosystems <p> U.S. Geological Survey <p> 12201 Sunrise Valley Drive <p> Reston, VA 20192 <p> Abstract <p> <p> U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) research has supported management of Hypophthalmichthys nobilis (bighead carp), Mylopharyngodon piceus (black carp), Ctenopharyngodon idella (grass carp), and H. molitrix (silver carp), hereafter referred to collectively as invasive carps, for over a decade. This strategic framework identifies thematic research areas to guide funding decisions for USGS invasive carp research during 2023–27. The USGS will use this framework and input from research and management agencies to identify leading-edge research to advance control of these highly damaging invasive species. <p>
USGS WILDLAND FIRE SCIENCE STRATEGIC PLN
<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>
