This $455,482 federal Project Grant awarded by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) under the National Geological and Geophysical Data Preservation Program (CFDA 15.814) supports the Indiana Geological and Water Survey (IGWS) in updating and developing its borehole database. Key activities include:
-
Updating the National Coal Resource Data System (NCRDS), pairing data with physical logs, and providing stratigraphic data to the National Index of Borehole Information (NIBI).
-
Completing work on the unconsolidated borehole database and providing unconsolidated lithologies to the NIBI.
-
Converting borehole wireline logs into a digital format for use in geological software and providing this dataset through a new public-facing borehole database.
The new public database will improve access to statewide borehole information, allowing researchers, industry, and the public to easily search and retrieve relevant data that was previously only available through a subscription. The project period runs from July 1, 2024 to June 30, 2025.
