The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) awarded a $200,000 Cooperative Agreement to the University of Illinois to help resolve Quaternary (glacial and postglacial) stratigraphic nomenclature and correlations among the states of Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, and Ohio under the USGS Research and Data Collection program (CFDA 15.808). The key activities include:

The cooperator will meet online to agree on target stratigraphy and characteristics to tie the strata across state lines. Samples from state core repositories will be analyzed to determine age and depositional environment to match similar lithology. Once agreed, new stratigraphic nomenclature will be determined. The expected deliverables include stratigraphic summaries, correlation charts, lists of key sites, and analytical data tables for the four states. The project period is from Oct 15, 2024 to Oct 14, 2026.

The University of Illinois has awarded sub-grants to Western Michigan University, Indiana University, and the Ohio Department of Natural Resources to support this project through Dec 2024 - Dec 2024.
