The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) awarded a $201,794 Project Grant under the Cooperative Landslide Hazard Mapping and Assessment Program (CFDA 15.821) to the Oregon Department of Geology and Mineral Industries (DOGAMI). The grant will fund the creation of an inventory of debris flows that occurred in the Cascade Range of Oregon from 1995 to 2024. This inventory will be created using orthophotos and LiDAR data, and will be published in a geodatabase with accompanying metadata. The inventory...
This $1,077,722 Cooperative Agreement award from the U.S. Geological Survey's (USGS) National Cooperative Geologic Mapping Program (CFDA 15.810) supports the Oregon Department of Geology and Mineral Industries (DOGAMI) in conducting detailed geologic mapping and digital database development within three regions of Oregon. Specifically, the award will fund the creation of 1:24,000 scale geologic maps, cross-sections, and time-rock charts for the Walla Walla Basin and Harney Basin areas, as well...
The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) awarded a $598,500 Project Grant under the USGS Cooperative Landslide Hazard Mapping and Assessment Program (CFDA 15.821) to the Washington State Department of Natural Resources (DNR). This two-year grant will fund the creation of a comprehensive landslide inventory for a 250 square mile area in western Clark County, Washington. The DNR will use LiDAR technology to map landslides, alluvial fans, and rock fall deposits in the targeted region. The resulting...
The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) awarded a $375,266 Project Grant under the Cooperative Landslide Hazard Mapping and Assessment Program (CFDA 15.821) to the Washington State Department of Natural Resources (DNR) for the period of July 1, 2025 to June 30, 2027. The grant will support mapping debris flow hazards and establishing baseline debris flow activity rates in pre- and post-wildfire environments across two counties in Washington state. Key activities include mapping alluvial fans and...
This $296,496 Project Grant award from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) under the Meteorologic and Hydrologic Modernization Development program (CFDA 11.467) will support the Department of Geology and Mineral Industries (DOGAMI), Oregon's state geological survey agency, in three key areas: Participation in the National Tsunami Hazard Mitigation Program (NTHMP) Increasing public preparedness through outreach and education initiatives Undertaking probabilistic tsunami...
This federal Project Grant award for $569,352.00, provided by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) through the Cooperating Technical Partners (CTP) Program (CFDA 97.045), supports the Department of Geology and Mineral Industries (DOGAMI) in Oregon to enhance the National Flood Insurance Program and strengthen national preparedness against flooding hazards. DOGAMI, the state geological survey agency, will leverage its specialized geoscience expertise to deliver a range of technical...
The California Department of Conservation (DOC) was awarded a $366,310.54 Project Grant by the U.S. Geological Survey's Cooperative Landslide Hazard Mapping and Assessment Program (CFDA 15.821) to develop five landslide hazard awareness fact sheets for California. The project period is from July 1, 2025 to June 30, 2026. The five deliverables include: 1) a "What are Landslides?" fact sheet, 2) a "Landslide Hazards in California" fact sheet, 3) a "Post-Fire Flood and...
The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) awarded a $116,910 Project Grant to the University of Arizona under the USGS Cooperative Landslide Hazard Mapping and Assessment Program (CFDA 15.821). The project will map previously unidentified landslides, refine boundaries of existing landslides, and characterize the geologic settings prone to landslides in four study areas in Yavapai County, Arizona. Key activities include using LiDAR data to preliminarily identify and map suspected landslides, conducting...
This $106,512 federal Project Grant awarded by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) under the Cooperative Landslide Hazard Mapping and Assessment Program (CFDA 15.821) will support the development of a comprehensive landslide inventory for south-central Indiana. The Indiana Geological and Water Survey (IGWS) at Indiana University will utilize statewide LiDAR data to map landslide-prone areas and conduct field investigations to validate landslide locations and characteristics. The project aims to...
The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) awarded a $407,297 Cooperative Agreement under the Earth Mapping Resources Initiative (CFDA 15.073) to the Oregon Department of Geology and Mineral Industries (DOGAMI) for the period of July 1, 2024 to June 30, 2027. The project will perform 1:24,000-scale geologic mapping, collect new geochemical data, and produce modern radiometric ages for igneous suites and mineral deposits in the Dixie Meadows and southern Boulder Bute 7.5 quadrangles in northeast Oregon....
