Strategic Objective
Assess National and International Energy and Mineral Resources
Strategic Objective
Overview
The USGS provides research, assessments, maps, and data to understand and communicate national and global energy and mineral resource accumulation, distribution, and potential. These products are provided to resource managers and policymakers to support informed policy and management decisions on land and resource use and the evaluation of trade-offs and environmental risks.
Progress Update
Performance has slowly declined from FY 2011 through 2014 due to a decrease in funding. However, FY 2015 performance increased despite a slight decrease in funding. The improved performance was made possible by making more information available online. Performance lags funding by two to three years, so performance is expected to decrease in FY 2016 and 2017 because the budget declined in FY 2013 and 2014.
