This Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) provides $220,801 to Texas A&M University to develop collaborative, data-integrated workflows for the SZ4D (Subduction Zones in Four Dimensions) community. The project will modify the existing STRABOSPOT digital data system to enable researchers to work collaboratively in collecting and analyzing data on subduction zones, including issues of societal relevance like earthquakes, faults, and...

This $684,984 Project Grant was awarded by the U.S. Department of the Interior U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) under the National Geological and Geophysical Data Preservation program (CFDA 15.814) to Trustees of Indiana University (doing business as Indiana University). The funding will support a 2-year effort to (1) extend the organization's record center storage to safely house geological field maps, (2) digitize and make searchable historical field notebooks, maps, and gamma logs, and (3)...

This $1,115,880 federal Cooperative Agreement award from the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) under the National Cooperative Geologic Mapping Program (CFDA 15.810) will support a 12-month geologic mapping project in Illinois from September 2024 to September 2025. The primary recipient, the University of Illinois, will conduct bedrock and surficial geology mapping in several priority regions across the state, including Northwest Illinois, the Quad Cities, Greater Chicago, the Wabash Valley, and...

The US Geological Survey, through its National Geospatial Program: Building The National Map (CFDA 15.817), awarded a $197,452 cooperative agreement to the Commonwealth Office Of Technology on March 26, 2021 to complete by March 25, 2023. Under this award, the Commonwealth Office Of Technology will acquire LIDAR data for Kentucky from 2020-2021. The National Geospatial Program promotes the use of space-based land remote sensing data and technologies through collaborative state and local...

The Colorado School of Mines, through a $114,951.98 project grant award from the U.S. Geological Survey's National Geological and Geophysical Data Preservation Program (CFDA 15.814), will digitize and make publicly accessible a series of the Colorado Geological Survey's archived maps, slides, geologic hazard reports, and exploration data from the San Juan Sag region. The key deliverables include: Scanning and georeferencing 125 historic CGS maps and 1,500 slides to be made available on the CGS...

The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) awarded a $340,841 Cooperative Agreement under the Earth Mapping Resources Initiative (EMRI) program to the New York State Education Department (NYSED) to conduct 3D bedrock geologic mapping in St. Lawrence County, New York. The 3-year project, running from September 2024 to September 2027, will produce 2D geologic maps and cross-sections depicting the spatial distribution and characteristics of geologic materials, including critical minerals, aggregates, and...
