Compiling geochronologic data for the entire state of Arizona and publishing an...
This $882,615 federal Cooperative Agreement award from the U.S. Geological Survey's National Cooperative Geologic Mapping Program (CFDA 15.810) will fund the production of new geologic maps and digital databases to support decision-making and scientific research across South Carolina. The 14-month project, running from September 2024 to December 2025, will involve seven sub-projects: Detailed 1:24,000-scale geologic mapping of six quadrangles along the I-95 corridor to aid highway expansion...
The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) awarded a $415,020 Cooperative Agreement under the National Cooperative Geologic Mapping Program (CFDA 15.810) to the University of Nebraska to generate surficial geologic maps for three 7.5-minute quadrangles in Nebraska and update six previously published maps to the current Geologic Mapping Enhancement and Modernization Standards (GEMS). The project period runs from September 15, 2023 to September 14, 2025. The deliverables will include surficial geologic...
This federal Cooperative Agreement award from the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) under the National Cooperative Geologic Mapping Program (CFDA 15.810) provides $1,290,924 in funding to the Utah Geological Survey (UGS) from July 1, 2024 through June 30, 2026. The award supports several geologic mapping and research initiatives in Utah, including: Producing 8 new 1:24,000 and 1:100,000 scale geologic maps covering 7.5 quadrangles and part of a 30x60 quadrangle Converting 7 published 7.5...
This $271,774.67 Cooperative Agreement award from the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) under the National Cooperative Geologic Mapping Program (CFDA 15.810) supports the Tennessee Department of Environment & Conservation in producing new and updating existing geologic maps and datasets for the state. Specifically, the award will fund: (1) detailed geologic mapping of the northwest half of the White Pine and Crawford 7.5 quadrangles, including cross-sections and stratigraphic descriptions; (2) a...
The U.S. Geological Survey, under its U.S. Geological Survey Research and Data Collection program (CFDA 15.808), awarded a $100,000 cooperative agreement to the Geological Survey of Alabama from September 2021 to September 2023. Under this cooperative agreement, the Geological Survey of Alabama will conduct geologic mapping and sampling of the Alabama graphite-V belt in parts of Chilton and Coosa Counties, Alabama. The goal is to support the USGS's efforts in classifying public lands and...
This federal Cooperative Agreement award, provided by the U.S. Geological Survey's National Cooperative Geologic Mapping Program (CFDA 15.810), will fund two key projects by the Geological Survey of Alabama (GSA):
Part A will conduct new geologic field mapping in northeastern Alabama, producing the equivalent of three new 1:24,000-scale quadrangle maps in digital format. This mapping will focus on areas of urban and industrial growth along key transportation routes.
Part B will convert 14 previously published 1:24,000-scale quadrangle maps into GEMS-compliant geospatial datasets, including detailed metadata and attribution. This will improve the availability of digital geologic map data to support decision-making for regional planning, resource management, and hazard mitigation.
The total award amount is $550,510, covering a project period from September 15, 2024 through September 14, 2026.
