It is, after all, an American taxpayer-funded entity and should inform policy that benefits the country. What are the big challenges ahead of us? While the history and traditions of the Survey are important, I hope that doesn't hold it back from adapting.

That's disconcerting to a lot of folks in the USGS who are waiting to see where they end up in this new structure.Lee Allisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11520300956249160005noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30940686.post-44591529767687745492010-08-16T08:02:50.390-07:002010-08-16T08:02:50.390-07:00It vaguely disturbs me when the term "Geology...It vaguely disturbs me when the term "Geology" disappears from these disciplinary lists.
