This Cooperative Agreement award of $786,428.00 from the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) under the National Cooperative Geologic Mapping Program (CFDA 15.810) will fund geologic mapping activities in the state of Iowa from July 1, 2024 to June 30, 2025. The primary objectives are to improve understanding of the distribution and characteristics of geologic units in Iowa, provide critical datasets and maps to support decision-making, and collaborate with other agencies on regional stratigraphic...
The University of Iowa was awarded a $101,918 Project Grant from the U.S. Department of the Interior Geological Survey under the National Geological and Geophysical Data Preservation program (CFDA 15.814). The grant will fund three priority projects over the period of July 1, 2023 through June 30, 2024: Establishing a framework for the Iowa Geological Survey (IGS) and University of Iowa Paleontology Repository (UIPR) to collaborate and integrate their geoscientific data collections, specifically...
The University of Illinois, through the Department of the Interior US Geological Survey Office of Acquisitions and Grants, has been awarded a $367,745 Cooperative Agreement under the Earth Mapping Resources Initiative (CFDA 15.073) program. The 2-year project, running from September 1, 2023 to September 1, 2025, will inventory and characterize mine wastes in the Upper Mississippi Valley Lead-Zinc District of Illinois and Wisconsin. The goal is to identify potential critical mineral resources...
This Cooperative Agreement award from the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) under the Earth Mapping Resources Initiative (CFDA 15.073) provides $330,000 in funding to The University of Iowa to map the thickness, extent, and rare earth element enrichment of the Graf Phosphorite formation in northeastern Iowa. The project aims to generate detailed geological and geochemical maps of the Ordovician-aged phosphate deposit, which previous investigations have shown to be a potentially significant...
The Department of the Interior U.S. Geological Survey awarded a $660,000 Cooperative Agreement under the Earth Mapping Resources Initiative (CFDA 15.073) to the University of Illinois. The purpose of the project is for the Illinois State Geological Survey, in collaboration with the Iowa, Indiana, and Kentucky State Geological Surveys, to collect new geochemical data on critical mineral concentrations in Devonian black shales across the Illinois Basin. The data will help evaluate ore mineralizing...

The project, titled "Critical Minerals in and Around the Upper Mississippi Valley Zn-Pb District", aims to geologically map and characterize the Upper Mississippi Valley Zn-Pb district in Illinois, Iowa, and Wisconsin. The key activities include mapping historic mines,...
This Cooperative Agreement award, provided by the U.S. Geological Survey under the CFDA 15.808 "U.S. Geological Survey Research and Data Collection" program, will fund a multi-state working group project to address lithostratigraphic and chronostratigraphic discrepancies in the classification and correlation of pre-Illinoian glacial deposits in Iowa, Kansas, Missouri, and Nebraska. The $226,132 award will support activities including developing state-level inventories of geologic...
The University of Iowa was awarded a $182,594 Cooperative Agreement from the U.S. Geological Survey to support the National Ground-Water Monitoring Network (CFDA 15.980) program. Under this 2-year project, the Iowa Geological Survey, as a current data provider for the NGWMN, will enhance the water-level data it collects and delivers to the NGWMN data portal. Key activities include revising web services, installing continuous water-level monitoring equipment on 3 new wells and 1 modified existing...
The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) awarded a $462,228 Cooperative Agreement to the University of Illinois under the Earth Mapping Resources Initiative (CFDA 15.073) program. The agreement supports three key objectives: Mapping of historic fluorspar mine waste tailings in the Illinois-Kentucky Fluorspar District, including geochemical and mineralogical analyses of 155 newly collected samples. This will create a comprehensive geographic database and map of the mine waste sites and their...
The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) awarded a $273,182.07 Cooperative Agreement under the Earth Mapping Resources Initiative (CFDA 15.073) to Western Michigan University. The purpose of the award is to evaluate 40 non-fuel mine waste sites in the western Upper Peninsula of Michigan, collect detailed site descriptions and bulk samples, and provide geospatial data, volume/load estimates, geochemical analyses, and critical mineral resource assessments.
