The University of Idaho will receive $100,000 through a Cooperative Agreement award from the U.S. Geological Survey to support research under the USGS Research and Data Collection program (CFDA 15.808). The two-year award, issued on September 1, 2021 and concluding on August 31, 2023, will fund complementary research to USGS efforts in classifying public lands and examining their geological structures, water resources, minerals, biological resources, and products. Specifically, the University of...
The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) awarded a $363,059 Cooperative Agreement to the Regents of the University of Idaho, conducting research under the Earth Mapping Resources Initiative (CFDA 15.073). Through this 3-year project, the University of Idaho will perform new 1:24,000-scale geologic mapping in three quadrangles along the Idaho Cobalt Belt, as well as collect and analyze rock and stream sediment samples to characterize the geochemistry of the region. Key deliverables include the new...
The Cooperative Agreement award, with a total funding of $817,822, was provided by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) under the National Cooperative Geologic Mapping Program (CFDA 15.810). The award supports new detailed geologic mapping in three project areas in Idaho (Weiser-Boise, Salmon, and Elk City), as well as updates to geologic map databases in five additional areas. The key deliverables include seven 1:24,000 scale geologic maps with subsurface interpretations and updated geologic map...
The Regents of the University of Idaho (University of Idaho) received a $208,292 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation Division of Earth Sciences under the Geosciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.050). The two-year award will support collaborative research to advance understanding of landscape response to climate change through studying evolving Hawaiian landforms. The University of Idaho will examine landscapes across islands and rainfall gradients to quantify the...
The University of Iowa was awarded a $101,918 Project Grant from the U.S. Department of the Interior Geological Survey under the National Geological and Geophysical Data Preservation program (CFDA 15.814). The grant will fund three priority projects over the period of July 1, 2023 through June 30, 2024: Establishing a framework for the Iowa Geological Survey (IGS) and University of Iowa Paleontology Repository (UIPR) to collaborate and integrate their geoscientific data collections, specifically...
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)...
The Idaho Geological Survey will receive $390,000 through a Cooperative Agreement award from the United States Geological Survey under the Earth Mapping Resources Initiative program to conduct new geologic mapping and geochemical sampling in Idaho. Specifically, the Survey will produce new 1:24,000 scale geologic maps of the Ulysses and Shoup quadrangles, as well as detailed maps and geochemical data from at least eight rare earth element prospects in the Sheep Creek-Mineral Hill mineral belt....
The Regents of the University of Idaho received a $618,648 Project Grant award from the U.S. Geological Survey's Assistance to State Water Resources Research Institutes program (CFDA 15.805) to improve hydrological predictions across the continental United States through better characterization of below-ground soil-vegetation processes. The 3-year project aims to enhance water budget predictions by: 1) constraining root zone storage capacity, 2) improving modeling of plant hydraulic...
The University of Illinois received a $1,300,004 Project Grant award from the Department of the Interior US Geological Survey under the National Geological and Geophysical Data Preservation program (CFDA 15.814). The award will fund three priorities over the 2-year project period from August 1, 2023 to July 31, 2025: Moving and re-curating the StratPAL paleontology collection, including digitizing specimens and updating the collection's metadata in online databases. This will benefit researchers...
This $363,000 federal Cooperative Agreement award, funded by the U.S. Geological Survey's Earth Mapping Resources Initiative (CFDA 15.073), will support geologic mapping and geochemical sampling in the Cuddy Mountain region of Idaho. The Idaho Geological Survey will conduct 1:24,000-scale geologic mapping across seven 7.5-minute quadrangles, compiling the results into new 1:36,000-scale published maps with supporting data. The project will also collect rock and stream sediment samples from the...
