This Cooperative Agreement award, valued at $550,510, was made by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) under the National Cooperative Geologic Mapping Program (CFDA 15.810). The Geological Survey of Alabama (GSA) will use the funding to undertake two primary activities: Part A will involve new 1:24,000-scale geologic field mapping in northeastern Alabama to expand coverage of growth corridors in Cherokee and Madison counties. This mapping will provide detailed geologic maps, cross-sections, and...
The Department of the Interior's U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) awarded a $300,000 Cooperative Agreement under the USGS Research and Data Collection program (CFDA 15.808) to the Natural Resources South Carolina Department. The funding will support a 2-year project (8/1/2023 - 7/31/2025) to improve regional stratigraphic coordination and geologic mapping across the Southeastern Atlantic Coastal Plain. The project will involve the state geological surveys of Virginia, North Carolina, South...

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 $380,000 Cooperative Agreement award from the United States Geological Survey (USGS) under the Earth Mapping Resources Initiative (CFDA 15.073) will fund detailed geological mapping and sampling activities by the Geological Survey of Alabama. The 3-year project will conduct lithologic and structural mapping of the Micaville, Newell, and Wedowee quadrangles in east-central Alabama, collecting approximately 200 rock samples for geochemical analysis. The goal is to identify potential...
The Geological Survey of Alabama (GSA) received a $210,092 project grant award from the U.S. Geological Survey under the National Geological and Geophysical Data Preservation program. Through this award, GSA will preserve 1,600 fossil specimens by improving labeling, packaging, and digitizing specimens. Specimens will be relocated to a new storage facility with additional cabinets and trays purchased through the funding. Additionally, GSA will digitize six historic geologic and mineral...

The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) awarded a $100,000 Cooperative Agreement to the Geological Survey of Alabama (GSA) under the USGS Research and Data Collection program (CFDA 15.808). The project, titled "Collaborations in Stratigraphic Information for GEOLEX: Gulf and South Atlantic Coastal Plains", will run from March 2025 to March 2027. Under this award, the GSA will unify and reconcile the results of two previous cooperative agreements focused on East and West Gulf Coast stratigraphy. The GSA will work closely with USGS NGMDB (National Geologic Map Database) staff to create a seamless geologic stratigraphic nomenclature for the entire Gulf Coast region that can be easily integrated into the USGS GEOLEX system. The key deliverables include providing the USGS with finalized stratigraphic nomenclature updates in a format suitable for inclusion in GEOLEX, as well as assisting with the entry of updated strata and removal of outdated information.
