The USGS Public Events Calendar—Start with science all year long.
The public facing online calendar is based on our annual print calendar. Find all public USGS events here. We'll be featuring a different topic each month to give you an in-depth, timely look at how USGS science serves the Nation.
The USGS is the primary source of information on geothermal resources across the Nation. Geothermal energy is an important but underutilized domestic renewable energy resource.
The most widely respected source of information on global conventional oil and gas resources is the U.S. Geological Survey."
A drill rig stands above the Bakken Formation near the Killdeer Mountains in western North Dakota. The Bakken Formation, found within the Williston Basin of North Dakota and Montana, is an important source of domestic oil. The USGS provides resource information for this and other oil and gas resources.
The USGS addresses the challenge of increasing demand for energy sources by conducting research on and providing scientific assessments of domestic and global geologic energy resources, including oil and gas, coal, geothermal, uranium, and more. USGS data and research on undiscovered, technically recoverable resources domestically and around the world help decision makers make informed choices regarding energy policy and resource management. By placing this information in the public domain, the USGS ensures that government leaders, investors, public and private organizations, and citizens have common and consistent information for decisions that affect the global environment and marketplace.
