At FORT we develop and disseminate research-based information and tools needed to understand the nation’s biological resources in support of effective decision making. Learn more about our science Users, Uses, and Value of Landsat ImageryLandsat satellites provide high-quality, imagery of urban, rural, and remote lands for all areas of the world. The imagery is applied to a variety of research areas, such as climate change research, agriculture, and environmental management.Landsat ImageryBurmese Pythons Invade the EvergladesThe Florida Everglades encompass a vast subtropical ecosystem. Billions of dollars have been committed to the long-term restoration of this ecosystem, but burgeoning populations of introduced and invasive reptiles threaten prospects for restoration.Invasives SpeciesBat Fatalities at Wind TurbinesWind energy is one of the fastest-growing industries in the world, however, widespread deployment of wind turbines is having unprecedented adverse impacts on tree-roosting and migratory bat species.Bats and Wind Energy USGS scientists take on the task of surveying native bee populations to understand what may put native bees at risk, and how to help them.   Research Ecologists Amy Yackel Adams and Andrea Currylow present “Invasive Reptiles: Lizards, Treesnakes, and Burmese Pythons, Oh My!” lecture Visitor spending in communities near national parks resulted in a $28.6 billion contribution to the nation's economy and supported 234,000 jobs in 2020, according to an economics report prepared by the U.S. Geological Survey and National Park Service. Year Published: 2021 A typology of drought decision making: Synthesizing across cases to understand drought preparedness and response actions Drought is an inescapable reality in many regions, including much of the western United States. With climate change, droughts are predicted to intensify and occur more frequently, making the imperative fordrought managementeven greater. Many diverse actors – including private landowners, business owners, scientists, non-governmental...

However, captive predators have been documented to selectively feed to optimize macronutrient intake. As many apex predators experience environmental changes that affect prey availability, limitations on selective feeding can affect energetics and health. We estimated the protein... Rode, Karyn D.; Robbins, Charles T.; Stricker, Craig A.; Taras, Brian D.; Tollefson, Troy N Attribution: Alaska Science Center, Fort Collins Science Center, Ecosystems, Region 11: Alaska Year Published: 2021 Comparison of aerial thermal infrared imagery and helicopter surveys of bison (Bison bison) in Grand Canyon National Park, USA Aerial thermal infrared (TIR) surveys are an attractive option for estimating abundances of large mammals inhabiting extensive and heterogenous terrain. Compared to standard helicopter or fixed-wing aerial surveys, TIR flights can be conducted at higher altitudes translating into greater spatial coverage and increased observer safety; however,...
