This Cooperative Agreement award, provided by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Research and Data Collection program (CFDA 15.808), will support the Minnesota Geological Survey (MGS) in conducting 3D geologic mapping of Quaternary sediments in Minnesota. The $184,241 award, with a performance period from August 26, 2024 to August 25, 2025, will fund MGS staff time to monitor and collect high-quality rotary-sonic cores, describe and sample the cores in the lab, and analyze the samples for texture and lithologic composition. This core data will provide benchmarks to guide subsurface mapping and groundwater modeling efforts across several Minnesota counties. The deliverables will include detailed graphic logs, down-hole geophysics, and textural/lithologic analyses for approximately 12 cores, which will contribute to the MGS County Geologic Atlas mapping program and support groundwater management, scientific research, and infrastructure planning in the state.
