AGU Fall Meeting 2016
Example Performance Measures• Percent of Climate Research & Development program products
cited/used within 3 years of publication• Percent completion of earthquake and volcano hazard
assessments for moderate to high hazard areas. • Cost of collection and processing of Light Detecting and Ranging
(LIDAR) data for coastal characterization and impact assessments (per megabyte of data collected) (CMGP)
AGU Fall Meeting 2016
Funding Opportunities
• USGS funds R&D opportunities through 17 “Financial Assistance Programs” and several other authorities
• E.g.,– National Cooperative Geologic Mapping Program– National Geological and Geophysical Data
Preservation Program– Water Resource Research Institutes– Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Units
