Abstract
This report is providing recent USGS policy on various ground-water research themes, which bears on i) USGS future policy within next decade, ii) recent ground-water science research topics, and iii) publication policy on ground-water modeling publication. USGS, an outstanding leading organization in the world geological sciences, has been taking higher priority on ecosystems and its changes than any other themes. This report will be helpful for us to compare our present status and to prepare future plan.

이 현장보고에서는 앞으로 10년간 수행될 USGS 연구정책의 방향과 USGS 수자원국의 지하수 분야의 테마, 생물국의 전략, 그리고 지하수 연구자들의 모델링 분야 보고서 표준화 노력에 대하여 다운사이징의 방법으로 소개하였다. USGS는 생태계와 생태계 변화에 중점을 둔 연구를 최우선 주제로 제시하였으며, 지하수 분야는 특히 이 정책 주제의 중심에 있다고 할 수 있다. 이 소개를 통하여 우리 연구자들의 현재를 돌아보고 앞으로의 계획에 도움을 줄 수 있기를 기대 하는 바이다.
