To develop a Strategic Science Plan for Environmental Health that encompasses the portfolio of USGS science, and will serve as a framework for science activities for the next decade. Strategic Science Planning Team Charge

We define Environmental Health Science as the multidisciplinary study of relationships among the quality of the physical environment, the health of the living environment, and human health.

The health of aquatic and terrestrial organisms and people is threatened increasingly by pathogenic diseases and exposure to a diverse array of chemical contaminants. Focus

Integration of Mission Areas Linkages and synergies among Mission Areas will: 1.Bring the breadth of USGS science to each theme, and 2.Provide increased opportunities to connect with key stakeholders.

Draft Goals 1.Anticipate, detect and assess emerging threats from contaminants and diseases affecting aquatic and terrestrial organisms and humans. 2.Characterize the environmental factors that control exposure to natural and anthropogenic contaminants, and their effects on, aquatic and terrestrial organisms and humans. 3.Elucidate the ecological and environmental factors that influence the occurrence and evolution of infectious diseases affecting aquatic and terrestrial organisms and humans.

4.Determine the interactions among contaminants, pathogens, environmental changes and other stressors that combine to affect the health of aquatic and terrestrial organisms and humans. 5.Enhance methods to anticipate and rapidly assess the environmental impacts of natural or anthropogenic disasters on the health of aquatic and terrestrial organisms and humans. 6.Synthesize and communicate integrated environmental health science information to decision makers and the public Draft Goals

1.What are the most important Environmental Health issues facing the Nation in the next decade? 2.What are the core USGS capabilities in Environmental Health Science? What is missing from the USGS portfolio? 3.What are the essential cross-linkages between the Environmental Health and other Mission Areas ? How can these linkages best be made? 4.Does the USGS definition of Environmental Health Science resonate with you and the science issues you expect to deal with in the coming decade? 5.What stakeholders are key to a successful USGS Environmental Health Science agenda? What suggestions do you have for improving stakeholder connections? Key Questions
