New Government Docs related to Natural Sciences

GODORT of Michigan Wiki
Here is a link to new and notable government documents for January 2012, passed along to library faculty by the Government Documents Librarian at Waldo Library. From the 80+ titles in the list, here are the natural science-related documents:
The links to and descriptions of these six government documents, and the dozens of others on the January 2012 list, were posted on the wiki of the Government Documents Round Table (GODORT) of Michigan.  The wiki, produced by the Reference, Documents & Maps Librarian at Northern Michigan University, is intended to be a resource for government documents and other types of librarians, although it is a helpful resource for other researchers.

It is also a reminder that natural-sciences information resources aren't limited to journal articles.  Reports, maps, and statistics sets are a few of the info sources produced by the U.S. Government, and can be a helpful source for a research project.
