<h3>Who we are, what we do</h3>
<p>USGS-R is a community of researchers, technicians, and programmers working increase engagement and scientific tool sharing across the USGS.
Through R training and development of tools in R, we are advancing how the USGS uses data, computing, and visualization.
</p>
<p>To advance and support the effective use of R in the USGS, we organize a number of activities, including:
<ul style="list-style-position: inside;">
<li>R Training</li>
<li>R Package development and support</li>
<li>Online code repository</li>
<li>Advanced R support</li>
</ul>

<h3>Why R?</h3>
<p>R is an open-source programming language specially designed for statistics, data analysis and visualization.
It is highly extensible and has a large community of contributors adding functionality every day.
This large community makes R one of the most powerful and diverse ecosystems for scientific computing and
data processing.
</p>
<p>By using, developing, and sharing tools for R, we are working to improve USGS scientific
productivity, impact and reproducibility.
