Director of the U.S. Geological Survey

The director of the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) is responsible for direction and leadership of the agency. Within the director's office are the deputy director, who assists the director in coordination of the USGS; and eight associate directors, each overseeing a particular program, who report to the director. The director is typically sworn in by the Secretary of the Interior—for example, Bruce Babbitt swore in Charles Groat, and Deb Haaland swore in David Applegate.
