Action Required: New USGS News Delivery Options

Get USGS News todayhttp://usgs.gov/getournews

You are receiving this email because you signed up to receive USGS press releases through a LISTSERV. We will be discontinuing the USGS Newsroom email LISTSERV (an older distribution-type service) on Sept 1, 2012. Instead, we are offering a quicker, more effective approach that will ensure you continue to receive USGS News in a timely manner.

The new system allows you to choose the method you prefer, either an email notice or an RSS feed (Really Simple Syndication).  

To continue receiving USGS news, you will need to go to usgs.gov/getournews before Sept 1, 2012, and select the lists you wish to subscribe to. After Sept. 1, 2012 if you have not signed up for an email distribution list or subscribed to an RSS feed, you will no longer automatically receive USGS news.  If you do not wish to use our RSS feeds, or sign-up with your email, you can still read all USGS news release by visiting usgs.gov/newsroom at your convenience.

These are the categories of news that you can subscribe to.
  • National Releases
  • Technical Announcements
  • State-specific news
  • Biology (includes ecosystems, plants, animals, and wildlife health)
  • Climate Change (includes global warming, carbon storage, and sea level rise)
  • Energy and Minerals (includes energy, minerals)
  • Environmental Health (includes contaminants, toxics)
  • Mapping (includes topographic maps, The National Map, remote sensing, geography, GIS)
  • Natural Hazards (includes earthquakes, landslides, volcanoes, etc)
  • Water (includes floods, droughts, water quality, oceans)
