As the awardee, the Conservation Commission will implement emergency...

The Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) was awarded a $100,000 Project Grant by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) under the Cooperative Landslide Hazard Mapping and Assessment Program (CFDA 15.821). The purpose of this 1-year project is to utilize interferometric synthetic aperture radar (InSAR) to improve existing landslide hazard mapping and characterize landslides within two landslide-prone highway corridors in Washington state. The project aims to inform WSDOT's approach to...

The Washington State Department of Natural Resources (DNR) received a $330,000 Cooperative Agreement from the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) through the Earth Mapping Resources Initiative (CFDA 15.073) program. The purpose of the 3-year award is for DNR to: Complete a 1:48,000-scale geologic map of the Orient 15-minute quadrangle in northeastern Washington to provide a geologic framework for critical mineral inventories and mineral-deposit models. Collect and analyze detailed geochemical and...

This Cooperative Agreement award, valued at $358,556.07, was granted by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) under the USGS Research and Data Collection program (CFDA 15.808). The primary objective is to continuously monitor seismic activity at high-threat volcanoes in Washington and Oregon through the Pacific Northwest Seismic Network (PNSN) at the University of Washington (UW). Key activities include operating seismic stations, detecting and analyzing seismic events, and archiving the data for...
