Introductions

The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Southwest Geographic Science Team (SGST) was established in October 2001. The mission of the SGST is to establish and implement National Mapping Discipline (NMD) activities in Arizona, Utah, Nevada, and Southern California. The SGST focuses on studies and data collection in the Mojave and Sonoran Deserts, the Colorado Plateau, and the Great Basin. Studies encompass activities in all three NMD programs--Cooperative Topographic Mapping, Land Remote Sensing, and Geographic Analysis and Monitoring--as well as interdisciplinary studies with other USGS programs.

The SGST currently has personnel in three locations: Tucson, Ariz.; Flagstaff, Ariz.; and Salt Lake City, Utah. Staff will continue to increase in these and/or other locations as the SGST program grows.
