America’s diverse ecosystems are an asset to current and future generations by supporting economically and recreationally important fish, wildlife, and lands. Healthy ecosystems support people and nature, fostering prosperity and enjoyment for all.
Multimedia
Below are images and videos associated with Ecosystems' Land Change Science Program fieldwork and research. We've also included a link to a climate illustrations webpage with illustrations that help explain tricky climate concepts and explain how climate change impacts ecosystems.

Fire In Ice Data Visualization Thumbnails
These three thumbnail illustrations represent three different data visualizations about USGS research on how wildfire affects the Juneau Icefield, Alaska. The upper left image of the Juneau Icefield represents a viz about where the icefield is located and where scientists collect data.

Beaufort Sea Data Visualization Thumbnails
These three thumbnail illustrations represent three different data visualizations about USGS research in the Beaufort Sea. The upper left image of an Arctic icebreaker and research vessel represents a viz about how sediment cores are collected. The upper right image of a foraminifera represents a viz about microfossils can show how ocean conditions are changing.

Paul Henne and Computer Model
Paul Henne develops wildfire models using records of past climate and area burned. These models when combined with sedimentary records help scientists understand long-term interactions among climate, vegetation, people, and wildfire.
