Abstract: USGS Cooperative 

Landslide Hazard Mapping and 

Assessment Program priorities reflect 

the National Landslide Preparedness 

Act (Pub. L. 116–323), which supports 

the mission of the USGS Landslide 

Hazards Program to reduce loss of lives 

and property from landslides and 

improve public safety and community

resilience for the Nation. Proposed riskreduction activities should advance 

landslide science and communication 

that underlie the priorities of the 

National Landslide Preparedness Act by 

focusing on landslide hazard planning, 

coordination, mapping, assessments, 

education, and outreach. The objectives 

are to provide grants on a competitive 

basis to state, territorial, local, and 

Tribal governments to research, map, 

assess, and collect data on landslide 

hazards within the jurisdictions of those 

governments. In response to our 

program announcements, applicants 

submit proposals in priority areas 

including (a) advancing landslide 

hazard mapping and assessments; (b) 

improving landslide hazard planning 

and coordination; and (c) improving the 

dissemination of landslide hazard 

information and its effectiveness in 

mitigating losses. This information is 

used as the basis for selection and 

award of projects meeting USGS 

Cooperative Landslide Hazard Mapping 

and Assessment Program priorities. 

Final grant close-out narrative reports 

are required for each funded proposal. 

Annual progress reports are required for 

awards that span more than two years. 

Final grant close-out narrative reports 

are made available to the public at 

https://www.usgs.gov/programs/

Abstract: The diamondback terrapin 

(Malaclemys terrapin) is a coastal turtle 

species that ranges along the U.S. coast 

from Massachusetts to Texas. As the 

only turtle species to live in brackish 

water (a mix of salt and fresh water), 

diamondback terrapins are typically 

found in habitats such as salt marshes, 

mangroves, estuaries, and bays. Their 

small size and cryptic coloring make 

locating terrapins difficult and, as such, 

terrapin populations often go 

undetected even within protected areas 

such as wildlife refuges and national 

parks. Because of this, there are large 

knowledge gaps about terrapin ecology. 

For example, the International Union for 

the Conservation of Nature did not
