The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), under the Department of the Interior, awarded a $299,028 Cooperative Agreement to the New York State Education Department (NYSED) through the Earth Mapping Resources Initiative (CFDA 15.073). This 2-year project will produce scientific information to improve the understanding of the geochemical and mineral composition of rocks within New York State. The key deliverables will include two-dimensional geologic maps detailing mineral occurrences, mines, and mine waste piles, as well as databases on the mineralogical and chemical composition of mine waste. This information will provide earth science educational resources for New York State and support county-level management of natural resources and infrastructure planning by state agencies.
