USGS Scientists Podcast Interviews
In 2023, USGS Alaska Science Center scientists participated in a weekly radio program and podcast called Liquid Assets, airing on KTNA 88.9 FM, a community radio for the Susitna Valley in Alaska. Radio host Jenny Willoughby talks to experts about all things related to water.
Q&A: USGS Alaska Science Opportunities for Alaska Pacific University Students
In Alaska, the USGS has its primary office located on the campus of Alaska Pacific University (APU). This co-location provides USGS staff and APU students and faculty numerous opportunities for science collaboration and training. Here, we provide more information about these opportunities and talk with USGS and APU staff who are helping to coordinate the program.
Critical minerals for a carbon-neutral future
The Earth Mapping Resources Initiative is filling data gaps and fostering more holistic understanding of critical mineral resources in the United States using a novel mineral systems framework.
USGS Alaska Science Center Project Updates for Collaborative Science with USFWS, NPS, and BOEM
One of the primary missions of the USGS is to provide science for decision making, particularly for Department of Interior management bureaus such as the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS), the National Park Service (NPS), and the Bureau of Energy Management (BOEM).
