- The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), through the National Geological and Geophysical Data Preservation Program (CFDA 15.814), awarded a $222,137 project grant to the Missouri Department of Natural Resources (MODNR). This 2-year grant (9/1/2024 - 8/31/2026) will support the following key activities: Priority 1: MODNR will create digital archives, including photographs and metadata, for 3,000 boxes of geological core samples stored in the Missouri Geological Survey (MGS) repository. This will...
- This Cooperative Agreement award from the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) under the Earth Mapping Resources Initiative (CFDA 15.073) provides $211,463 to the Missouri Department of Natural Resources (MODNR) to investigate mine waste characterization in the Old Lead Belt District of Missouri. Over the 2-year project period from September 2024 to August 2026, MODNR will conduct field work and sampling of chat piles at the Bonne Terre, National, and Rivermines sites to determine the critical...
- This Cooperative Agreement award, valued at $637,730.99 and made by the U.S. Geological Survey under the National Cooperative Geologic Mapping Program (CFDA 15.810), funds a series of geologic mapping projects in Maryland's Piedmont and Coastal Plain provinces. The key deliverables include: New 1:24,000-scale geologic maps for the Westminster and Church Hill quadrangles, produced through field data collection, drilling, and biostratigraphic analysis. Conversion of four previously published...
- The University of Minnesota, through its Minnesota Geological Survey, has been awarded a $209,091 Cooperative Agreement from the U.S. Geological Survey's National Cooperative Geologic Mapping Program (CFDA 15.810). The award, which runs from July 1, 2024 to June 30, 2026, will support new geologic mapping in Koochiching County in northern Minnesota. Additionally, the funding will facilitate the completion and conversion of geologic maps for Polk and/or Pennington Counties into the USGS's...
- This federal Project Grant award of $374,972.00 was provided by the U.S. Geological Survey under the National Geological and Geophysical Data Preservation Program (CFDA 15.814) to the Missouri Department of Natural Resources (MoDNR). The grant funds will support three key priorities: 1) scanning and cataloging black shale, coal, and thin section files, including developing best practices for thin section scanning; 2) purchasing storage equipment like envelopes and cabinets for thin sections...
- The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) awarded a $241,301 Cooperative Agreement to the Missouri Department of Natural Resources (MODNR) under the Earth Mapping Resources Initiative (CFDA 15.073) program. The two-year project will inventory the location, geology, and resource potential of existing mine waste within the state of Missouri. Key activities include compiling geospatial data, conducting field work and sampling at the Pea Ridge tailings impoundment, and analyzing samples at the USGS. The...
The Missouri Department of Natural Resources (MoDNR) has been awarded a $1,126,170 Cooperative Agreement from the U.S. Geological Survey's National Cooperative Geologic Mapping Program (CFDA 15.810) to conduct geologic mapping activities. Under this 12-month award (12/01/2025 - 11/30/2026), MoDNR will produce bedrock geologic maps for nine full and one partial 7.5' quadrangles in Missouri. These maps will be published as PDF documents and digital GIS products. Additionally, MoDNR will create GEMS geodatabases for all new mapping projects and nine newly digitized geologic maps. The award also includes a depth to bedrock study in the Saint Joseph 30' x 60' quadrangle, a 1:100,000-scale bedrock geologic map compilation, and GEMS implementation of additional bedrock geologic maps and structure contours in central and western Missouri. This funding supports the National Cooperative Geologic Mapping Program's initiatives to create comprehensive geological frameworks that are vital to economic, social, and scientific interests.
