CSS Data and Applications
Summary
The Core Science Systems Mission Area in the USGS is responsible for the foundational mapping of the Nation's geology (National Cooperative Geologic Mapping Program); topography, hydrography, and the other layers/products that go into The National Map (National Geospatial Program); and biogeography with detailed biodiversity information. Core Science Systems also has functions within its Scientific Synthesis and Analytics Research Program for the USGS Library System, a program in Data Preservation and Laboraties, and an informatics research capability. In addition, the John Wesley Powell Center for Earth System Analyis and Synthesis finds its home within Core Science Systems. All of these programs produce data and other scientific [...]

Core Science Systems also has functions within its Scientific Synthesis and Analytics Research Program for the USGS Library System, a program in Data Preservation and Laboraties, and an informatics research capability. In addition, the John Wesley Powell Center for Earth System Analyis and Synthesis finds its home within Core Science Systems.
All of these programs produce data and other scientific products from national to regional and local scales that are provided through web applications, downloads, and programming interfaces to serve the needs of many other USGS research programs, research partners in universities and across the world, and the public at large.
