Introduction

The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) launched the Earth Mapping Resources Initiative (Earth MRI) to modernize the surface and subsurface geologic mapping of the United States, with a focus on identifying areas that may have the potential to contain critical mineral resources. EarthMRI can inform strategies to ensure secure and reliable domestic critical mineral supplies for the United States as mandated by Executive Order 13817 and the Infrastructure and Jobs Act of 2021 (Public Law 117–58, 135 Stat. 529). Earth MRI is a collaborative effort between the USGS and the State geological surveys as represented by the Association of American State Geologists to identify, prioritize, and acquire new geoscience data for geographic areas, or focus areas, across the Nation that have potential to host critical mineral resources. Mapping of focus areas was based on a framework of mineral systems and their associated mineral deposit types that could possibly host critical minerals. Using readily available geologic, geophysical, geochemical, and mineral deposit data, teams of USGS scientists worked with representatives of State geological surveys in a series of workshops to outline focus areas that contain evidence of key features for one or more mineral systems. These areas can be used to guide future efforts to collect new geologic, geophysical, geochemical, and topographic data that focus on critical minerals through Earth MRI.

LANDFIRE Data and Applications 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/fs20223034 First posted May 31, 2022 LANDFIRE help desk Earth Resources Observation and Science Center https://www.usgs.gov/centers/eros U.S. Geological Survey 47914 252nd Street Sioux Falls, SD 57198 Abstract LANDFIRE is a Federal program that provides a suite of spatial datasets indicating areas of disturbance, vegetation and fuels distributions and structure, and historical conditions. The level of detail presented in LANDFIRE’s classifications of disturbance, vegetation, and fuels is unparalleled and can be used in a variety of applications, including (1) modeling wildfire risk and fire behavior, (2) modeling habitat and and species ranges, (3) understanding how disturbances affect the landscape, and (4) researching departure from precolonial conditions. Additionally, the all-lands paradigm of LANDFIRE mapping creates spatial data that do not stop at jurisdictional boundaries. The primary research and management applications of LANDFIRE data are detailed in this fact sheet, providing users with a well-rounded understanding of the potential of LANDFIRE’s spatial data layers.

It informs decision making that can help protect lives and property before and during extreme hydrologic events. The National Water Dashboard draws upon the extensive site-specific hydrologic data housed in the U.S. Geological Survey National Water Information System database (https://doi.org/10.5066/F7P55KJN) and also links to the U.S. Geologic Survey WaterAlert system, which provides users with instant and customized updates about water conditions. Overall, the National Water Dashboard is part of the U.S. Geological Survey's effort to respond to 21st century science needs.
