The Great Basin Information Project's Science Locator is a comprehensive project-oriented research and management information tool for the entire Intermountain West. It is a joint project of the Great Basin Information Project and SAGEMAP, designed to be an efficient communication and collaboration tool for natural resource scientists and managers in the western United States.

The map-based interactive website provides location, description, and contact information for research and management projects throughout the region. When used effectively, the Locator can reduce redundancy of effort, enhance research objectives, and facilitate effective management by linking individuals working on similar projects or similar geographic areas.

The Internet Map Server interface allows you to select from the full list of projects based on the primary focus or class of project, sponsoring agency, or principal scientist. A map will indicate locations of projects, and a simple click of a button will open a window with the project description.

We invite you to submit your project(s) to the Science Locator.

Information required to have your project posted are:

• Name of Principal Investigator(s)
• Job Title, Affiliation
• Contact information (phone number, e-mail, website URL)
• Abstract or project summary
• Project study area (preferably in a shapefile or identified by bounding coordinates- but a jpeg, paper map, or written description will suffice)
• Images (i.e., study species, graphs, maps - optional )

This information can be e-mailed to Linda Schueck (lschueck@usgs.gov), or Sean Finn (sfinn@usgs.gov) or faxed to (208) 426-5210.
