Science Supporting Decisions - 2001-2003 Biennial Report

Science Supporting Decisions highlights some of the activities undertaken by the Bureau of Integrated Science Services over the past biennium. The report focuses on two key themes: Science and Services. It mentions significant research accomplishments and shows how our services support a wide range of stakeholders.

We strive to rapidly transfer new knowledge to the field. Unfortunately, the volume of new science information, some of which may appear conflicting, or may change as our understanding evolves, occasionally overwhelms and confuses recipients. Building close relationships between administrators, managers, and scientists is a particularly effective way of addressing these concerns and improve the value of publications and other technology transfer materials.

Our program outcomes include knowledge, methods, and new technologies that enable solutions to critical environmental problems. The work conducted by Science Services helps ensure sound decisions for both resource management and environmental quality programs, and ultimately, for human health and the environment.
