  1. Energy and Minerals for America’s Future: Science Planning Overview, Opportunities for Input U.S. Department of the Interior U.S. Geological Survey

  2. Background Bureau-level science strategy, released 2007 Facing Tomorrow’s Challenges—U.S. Geological Survey Science in the Decade 2007–2017 http://pubs.usgs.gov/circ/2007/1309/ Energy and Minerals: Four Strategic Areas: • Natural resource security for the future • Environmental Health • Economic Vitality of the Nation • Management of DOI, Federal, and Other Lands

  3. Conceptual Framework: Energy & Minerals Science Plan • Expands on lifecycle concepts and environmental perspective of sustainability described in USGS Science Strategy • Provides platform for identifying linkages with other mission areas to address multidisciplinary/crosscutting issues

  4. Charge to Science Strategy Planning Team (SSPT) The SSPT for Energy and Minerals (and SSPT’s for other Mission Areas) will draft a plan that will follow this outline: • Science Strategy Outline • Introduction • USGS Core Strengths • Science Goals and Objectives • Short term (1 to 5 years) • Longer‐term (5 to10 years) • Critical Cross‐cutting Capabilities • Implementation Plan and Strategic Actions for Delivering • Science to Society • Appendices • Literature Cited

  5. Key Questions • What are the most important energy and mineral resource issues facing the Nation in the next Decade? • What is the USGS’ role in providing the science needed to address those issues and to identify new issues? • How can USGS improve the access and usability of the science information that we provide? • What partnerships will be essential to getting that information to decisionmakers?
