NASEM consensus study - interacting with USGS data

The National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine is undertaking a review of the USGS Mineral Resources Program (MRP) science portfolio to address how it might evolve to meet current and future U.S. mineral resources data and science needs. The study committee is interested to learn if and how individuals and industries interact with and use USGS data, especially that of MRP. Even if you have never used USGS data, your answers are very helpful to the committee.

Please use this form to describe your interaction with USGS data. Responses may be used to inform the committee’s deliberations and may be used in the final report. A summary of the responses may be included in the report. The committee recognizes that responses reflect opinions and perspectives of individual submitters.

Responses are collected anonymously—please do not include any personally identifiable information. Additionally, responses will become part of the public access record associated with this study and will be made publicly available if requested (see Request Project Information section of the NASEM Project Comments and Information website).

Please submit all responses by December 6, 2024. Contact Jonathan Tucker (jtucker@nas.edu) with any questions.

The committee welcomes comments on any aspect of its Statement of Task. If you have comments beyond the scope of USGS data, please click the “Provide feedback on this project” link on the project website.
