Abstract Science diplomacy has been instrumental in facilitating cooperation the Arctic region, yet through projection of vast hydrocarbon potential it also served to undermine major transformation necessary decision-making towards goals climate governance. This article surveys translation science from United States Geological Survey (USGS) reports (i.e. CARA study and Factsheet 2008-3049) on o...

The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) has developed three related digital libraries providing access to topical and georeferenced information for coastal and marine science: the Marine Realms Information Bank (MRIB) and its two offshoots, the Monterey Bay Science Digital Library and Coastal Change Hazards Digital Library. These three members of the MRIB family run on the same software and share a c...

During 2000-2001, the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), in cooperation with the Ocean Modeling and Prediction Division of the U.S. Naval Oceanographic Office (NAVOCEANO), constructed tidal gages at the East Pearl River at CSX Railroad near Claiborne, Mississippi, at the Rigolets at CSX Railroad near Rigolets, Louisiana, and at the Chef Menteur Pass at CSX Railroad at Chef Menteur, Louisiana, to co...

Data acquired by Harris Corporation’s (Melbourne, FL, USA) Geiger-mode IntelliEarthTM sensor and Sigma Space Corporation’s (Lanham-Seabrook, MD, USA) Single Photon HRQLS sensor were evaluated and compared to accepted 3D Elevation Program (3DEP) data and survey ground control to assess the suitability of these new technologies for the 3DEP. While not able to collect data currently to meet USGS l...

Printed on recycled paper The overall mission of this work is to provide science-based information and methods that will allow beach managers to more accurately make beach closure and advisory decisions, understand the sources and physical processes affecting beach contaminants, and understand how science-based information can be used to mitigate and restore beaches and protect the public. The ...

Mercury emissions from coal-fired electric generating utilities are a major uncontrolled source of mercury in the environment. This mercury may be contributing to serious health problems in segments of our society. The USGS is compiling information on mercury in coal that may be useful in developing strategies for reducing mercury emissions from coal use. The USGS coal-quality database contains...
