RELATED FEDERAL RESEARCH PROGRAMS
Several federal agencies support basic research in the Earth sciences. The
research programs of the agencies with the largest Earth science programs—the
U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), Department of Energy (DOE), and the National
Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA)— and their collaborations with
EAR are described below and in Table A.3 .
U.S. Geological Survey
The USGS is the nation’s primary provider of Earth science information on
geologic hazards and resources and the nation’s geologic framework. The FY
1999 USGS budget was $1.1 billion, including appropriated funds and
