The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Oklahoma-Texas Water Science Center (OK-TXWSC) works in cooperation with approximately 100 municipalities, river authorities, groundwater districts, and State and Federal agencies in Texas and Oklahoma to provide reliable, impartial scientific information to resource managers, planners, and other customers. This information is gathered by the USGS OK-TXWSC to minimize the loss of life and property from natural disasters, to contribute to the conservation and sound economic and physical development of the Nation’s natural resources, and to enhance the quality of life by monitoring water, biological, energy, and mineral resources. This ScienceBase community serves as a USGS OK-TXWSC...
The United States Bureau of Mines (USBM) was established in 1910 to improve extraction, processing, distribution, and utilization of resources and provide statistical and economic information about all phases of non-fuel mineral resource development. The agency was closed in 1996 after 85 years of service. After the USBM closure, certain functions such as the collection, analysis, and dissemination of minerals information was transferred to the USGS. Many of the publications of the USBM that were distributed to Federal depository libraries have been catalogued and digitized and are available from the USGS Library, Technical Report Archive (TRAIL), Federal Depository Library Program (FDLP), National Archives and...

These are scientific collections managed by the USGS New Mexico Water Science Center (NMWSC). The mission of the NMWSC is to collect, analyze, and distribute the impartial hydrologic data and information needed to wisely manage water resources for the people of the United States and the State of New Mexico. Much of our data are publicly available through the USGS National Water Information System, but additional collections of data are available here. NMWSC scientists have a wide range of expertise in many areas of water science, including: water quality, groundwater, surface water, water use, wildfire-caused flooding and debris flows, and snow hydrology. We partner with Federal, State, and local agencies to provide...
These are collections managed by the Geology, Minerals, Energy, and Geophysics Science Center (GMEG). Scientists with the Center work on issues related to geologic processes, mineral and energy resource potential, and past climate, primarily in the Western United States. The science staff includes Geologists, Geophysicists, Geochemists, Biologists, and Geographic Information Systems specialists located in Arizona, California, Nevada, Oregon, and Washington.
Agnew was born in Ogden, Illinois on August 24, 1918. He received an AB in 1940 from the University of Illinois, an MS from Stanford University in 1942 and a PhD from Stanford University in 1949. Agnew specialized in hydrogeology and engineering geology. He worked for the U.S. Geological Survey, mostly in Wisconsin, from 1942 to 1955; the South Dakota Geological Survey from 1955 to 1957; and as State Geologist at the South Dakota Geological Survey from 1957 to 1963. Agnew then became Professor of Geology and Director Water Resource Center at Washington State University. His fieldbooks are currenlty being scanned and converted to PDFs.
The Florence Bascom Geoscience Center (FBGC) is at the leading edge of scientific research addressing critical societal issues and providing unbiased data and information to decision makers and the public. Our research center is built around five broad science themes: Paleoclimate & Paleoecology, Landscape Science, Geologic Mapping, Hazards, and Special Geologic Studies.
John Bernard Reeside, Jr., was born in Baltimore, Maryland, in 1889. He received A.B. and Ph.D. degrees from Johns Hopkins University in 1911 and 1915. Reeside joined the staff of the USGS in 1912 and, aside from his service in World War I, spent his entire career with the agency. His scientific investigations focused on the stratigraphy and fauna of Paleozoic rocks in the eastern U.S. and Mesozoic rocks in the west. He served as Chief of the Paleontology and Stratigraphy Branch from 1932 to 1949 and Chairman of the Geographic Names Committee from 1947 to 1952. Amongst his many professional recognitions were his election to the National Academy of Sciences (1945) and his service as an officer of the Geologic Society...
Collection of Field Notebooks by Jocelyn Ann Peterson.
The Geological Materials Repository (GMR) is home to the largest, publicly accessible USGS rock core and cuttings collection (the Core Research Center collection). In addition to the large core and cuttings collections, there are over 1,000 pallets of varied materials, from numerous Science Centers and Mission Areas, currently stored in the GMR space. A variety of samples collected for completed USGS projects are stored in the Geological Materials Repository for possible future use.
These are scientific collections managed by the USGS Wyoming-Montana Water Science Center (WMWSC). WMWSC uses state-of-the-art techniques for data collection and interpretation. Our scientists have a wide range of expertise in all areas of water science, including: water quality, groundwater, surface water, water use, geospatial analysis, and evaluating aquatic ecosystems. We are a team of hydrologists, engineers, geospatial analysts, hydrologic technicians, geologists, and support staff working to provide hydrologic data and interpretive studies. We partner with Federal, State, and local agencies to provide impartial scientific analyses of water in Wyoming and Montana. The center has five offices located in major...

This collection contains numerous zoological specimens from the southwestern United States. Specimens were collected beginning in the 1920s through 2013 and include mammals, fish, birds, amphibians, and reptiles. This is a legacy collection that was transferred to the USGS from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) in 1996 when the unit that would become the Biological Resources Division became part of the USGS. Specimens were accessioned as museum property in 2002, 2003, and 2006. The collection contains voucher specimens of vertebrates collected on Federal land in the western United States. It is administered by the USGS Fort Collins Science Center and housed at the Museum of Southwestern Biology at the University...

This collection contains unpublished hand drawn geologic maps, field maps, traverse maps, sample location maps, and cross sections of areas investigated in eastern U.S.
The Western Ecological Research Center (WERC) is a USGS Ecosystems Mission Area operation serving primarily California and Nevada. WERC scientists work closely with Federal, State, academic, and other collaborators to address a diverse array of high-profile topics. Topics include research on effects of wildfire, sea level rise, drought, energy development and more on federal Trust species.
