US Geological Survey

The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) is a scientific agency of the U.S. government dedicated to studying the landscape of the United States and its natural resources. It focuses on various areas of science, including geology, biology, climate, energy, and natural hazards, to enhance understanding and inform policy on critical issues affecting the environment and public safety.

Leading national efforts in mapping mineral resources, the USGS plays a vital role in analyzing supply chains that support the U.S. economy and national security. The agency collaborates with state geological surveys, universities, and private companies to identify and evaluate new mineral resources, including those located in old mine tailings and energy wastes.
