The Alaska Department of Natural Resources (DNR) has received a $1,254,332 Cooperative Agreement award from the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) under the National Cooperative Geologic Mapping Program (CFDA 15.810). The award will fund two key activities: Creation of a 1:50,000-scale comprehensive geologic map and database for the north-central Tyonek quadrangle in south-central Alaska. This will involve field investigations, LiDAR data collection, geologic sample analysis, and paleoseismic studies...
The Alaska Department of Natural Resources (DNR) received a $1,575,000 cooperative agreement award from the U.S. Geological Survey under the Earth Mapping Resources Initiative program to complete modern 1:100,000-scale geologic mapping, geochemistry, and geochronology in parts of four U.S. Geological Survey quadrangle maps located in Alaska. Through this three-year award ending May 2026, DNR will build upon ongoing collaborative efforts with the USGS to upgrade geologic data in Alaska's...
This $1,575,000 Cooperative Agreement awarded by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) under the Earth Mapping Resources Initiative (CFDA 15.073) will fund geologic mapping and mineral resource assessments in the Steese region of Alaska. The project will generate new geological data, including a geologic map, rock descriptions, chemical analyses, and age estimates for the targeted area. This information will be used to better understand the region's potential for critical mineral deposits, such as...
This Cooperative Agreement award from the U.S. Geological Survey under the Earth Mapping Resources Initiative (CFDA 15.073) will provide $3,650,000 to conduct geophysical surveys in the Kuskokwim River and Seward Peninsula regions of Alaska. The project will collect high-quality airborne magnetic and radiometric data to enhance geologic mapping and mineral resource evaluations in these prospective areas for critical minerals such as rare earth elements, tin, tungsten, and platinum group...
The Alaska Department of Natural Resources (DNR) received a two-year, $748,871 Project Grant award from the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) under the National Geological and Geophysical Data Preservation program (CFDA 15.814). The award period is from July 1, 2023 to June 30, 2025. Under the award, DNR will preserve various materials and data of high value to Alaska stakeholders through three priority efforts. First, DNR will rescue and provide access to rare geologic samples and unpublished...
The Department of the Interior US Geological Survey Office of Acquisitions and Grants awarded a $600,000 cooperative agreement to the Alaska Department of Natural Resources for the period of May 14, 2021 through May 13, 2023.

This Cooperative Agreement award from the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) under the USGS Research and Data Collection program (CFDA 15.808) provides $483,410 to the Alaska Department of Natural Resources, Division of Geological & Geophysical Surveys (DGGS) to address landslide hazards in Alaska. The key activities to be performed under this award include: (1) coordinating with the USGS and other partners to organize a framework for landslide preparedness and response in southeast Alaska; (2)...

This Cooperative Agreement award, funded by the U.S. Geological Survey under the National Cooperative Geologic Mapping Program (CFDA 15.810), provides $602,976 to the Alaska Department of Natural Resources (DNR) Division of Geological & Geophysical Surveys (DGGS) for a 2-year project period from September 15, 2024 to September 14, 2026.

The key objectives of this award are to: 1) create standardized digital geologic map databases from legacy analog geologic maps covering regions of Alaska that are prospective for critical and rare-earth elements, as well as areas with notable landslide and coastal hazards; and 2) deliver 14 geologic map databases composed of 17 total map sheets in the prescribed USGS database schema. These standardized digital geodatabases will significantly increase public access to and interoperability of Alaska's valuable geologic data, benefiting a range of stakeholders including private companies, universities, and state/federal agencies involved in resource development, land management, and hazard mitigation.
