The Gap Analysis Project (GAP) is an element of the U.S. Geological Survey. GAP helps to implement the Department of the Interior’s goals of inventory, monitoring, research, and information transfer. GAP has three primary goals: Identify conservation gaps that help keep common species common; Provide conservation information to the public so that informed resource management decisions can be made; and Facilitate the application of GAP data and analysis to specific resource management activities. To implement these goals, GAP carries out the following objectives: Map the land cover of the United States Map predicted distributions of vertebrate species for the U.S. Map the location, ownership and stewardship of...
The Aquatic Gap Project represents the portion of the USGS Gap Analysis Project that focuses on aquatic species found in coastal and inland waters. The goal of the National Aquatic GAP is to evaluate aquatic biological diversity and habitats using spatial analysis and species distribution models to identify gaps in species protection or threats to habitats in order to work toward more effective conservation planning and prioritization. Our current efforts are focused on modeling the rangewide distribution of fish species which are wide ranging, non-habitat specialist, and of specific interest to our natural resource management agency and conservation partners.

This ScienceBase community is the archive of ReSciColl (Registry of Scientific Collections), formerly the National Digital Catalog, of the National Geological and Geophysical Data Preservation Program (NGGDPP). The ReSciColl Dashboard housing ReSciColl Map, ReSciColl Inventory, and Collections Management is available at ReSciColl - Registry of Scientific Collections (usgs.gov). ReSciColl includes metadata records describing geological, geophysical and biological collections and data managed by state geological surveys and USGS. These collections include rock samples, thin sections, field notebooks, photographs, maps, datasets, and others. Collections are described using metadata elements identified by the NGGDPP...
As one of the cornerstones of the U.S. Geological Survey's (USGS) National Geospatial Program, The National Map is a collaborative effort among the USGS and other Federal, State, and local partners to improve and deliver topographic information for the Nation. It has many uses ranging from recreation to scientific analysis to emergency response. The National Map is easily accessible for display on the Web, as products and services, and as downloadable data. The geographic information available from The National Map includes orthoimagery (aerial photographs), elevation, geographic names, hydrography, boundaries, transportation, structures, and land cover.

The John Wesley Powell Center for Earth System Analysis and Synthesis supports proposal driven working groups to examine some of the most pressing questions and needs for scientific synthesis across the USGS Mission Areas. Working groups are funded to work with existing data as opposed to collecting new data, and the data synthesis results of all projects are published along with journal articles and other products. ScienceBase provides the data backbone for Powell Center working groups. It is used to catalog data and information resources used by the working groups and is the repository for products coming out of the working groups. Wherever possible, new data from working groups are made part of some larger data...
