Mark T Wiltermuth
My current position is Branch Chief for Biogeographic Science within the Science Synthesis, Analysis and Research Program in USGS Core Science Systems.
Our group focuses on biodiversity and biogeographic analysis and synthesis to provide foundational data and analyses at a national scale. The current portfolio includes overseeing our activities in species occurrence, species range, and habitat distributions modeling, synthesis of biodiversity and conservation information, the Protected Areas Database of the United States, the Integrated Taxonomic Information System, and biogeographic information systems.
