	Welcome to the USGS - U.S. Geological Survey
		USGS scientists are drilling a mile-deep hole into the center of the Chesapeake Impact Crater, one of the largest in the world at more than 53 miles wide, to better understand the consequences of an enormous meteorite smashing into the Earth more than 35 million years ago.
		USGS, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, and NOAA are working together to use and interpret data gathered by 150 U.S. Doppler weather radars and other monitoring tools to advance conservation and management efforts.
		Some of the oil residues on the rocks along the shoreline of western Prince William Sound did not come from the EXXON ® Valdez spill of 1989, but from oil that was spilled years earlier when the Alaska earthquake of 1964 ruptured storage tanks in the Port of Valdez.

	U.S. Geological Survey, Volcano Hazards Program
		According to a new USGS report on NVEWS, since 1980, 45 eruptions and 15 cases of notable volcanic unrest have occurred at 33 U.S. volcanoes.
		Volcanic ash typically covers a much larger area and disrupts the lives of far more people than the other more lethal types of volcano hazards, but information about ash and what to do with it is not readily available.
		This presentation uses data from several eruptive episodes of Mount St. Helens in the 1980's to show the way in which a series of eruptions were accurately predicted by USGS scientists as far as 3 weeks in advance.

	Still Shaking After 25 Years . . .
		USGS has developed and refined the national and regional Seismic Hazard Maps.
		The current maps were developed in 1996; USGS scientists have been working with colleagues for the past year to revise and update the maps, which include a digital database of expected ground-shaking levels at more than 150,000 sites.
		The USGS, the National Science Foundation, the National Institute of Standards and Technology, and the Federal Emergency Management Agency are the four primary NEHRP federal partners; FEMA has been designated the lead agency, with responsibility for planning and coordinating the Program.

		In five years, WNV has swept from the New York City region in 1999 to almost all of the continental U.S., 7 Canadian provinces, and throughout Mexico and parts of the Caribbean by 2004.
		To do that and better answer the remaining questions surrounding the disease, USGS scientists are collaborating with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to learn more about the ecology of WNV.
		Collaborations between USGS, the CDC, and other agencies to study this disease have produced remarkable results in the five short years since its arrival in New York City, but less understood are the ways WNV is affecting wildlife populations, particularly wild birds, a major reservoir of the virus.
