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 $845,578 Cooperative Agreement to the Regents of the University of Idaho under the National Cooperative Geologic Mapping Program (CFDA 15.810) to conduct new detailed geologic mapping and compilation in three project areas in Idaho (Weiser-Boise, Salmon, and Preston) over a one-year period from August 18, 2025 to August 17, 2026. The project will produce four 1:24,000-scale geologic maps with cross-sections, one 1:75,000-scale geologic map compilation,...
- 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 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 (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 Idaho will receive $344,599 under a Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation Division of Earth Sciences. The grant will fund a collaborative research project titled "Exploring the Tempo of Exhumation and Relief Development to Investigate Mantle-to-Surface Connections Around the Yellowstone Hotspot" from January 1, 2022 through December 31, 2024. The research aims to strengthen understanding of integrated Earth system processes by expanding knowledge of...
- 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...
- This Project Grant award of $634,376 from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) aims to expand the OpenMindat project and create a broader "OneMineralogy" open science ecosystem. The project will build on the success of the previous OpenMindat effort, which has improved the quality and accessibility of over 6,000 mineral species records and data from more than 400,000 global localities. The new OneMineralogy initiative will further extend and curate...
- 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...
The University of Idaho was awarded a $284,050 Project Grant from the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) under the National Geological and Geophysical Data Preservation Program (CFDA 15.814). The grant will fund three key priorities over the project period from August 18, 2025 to August 17, 2026: Preserving geoscience data and materials, including incorporating additional files into the Mines and Prospects of Idaho database and web application, cataloging and scanning geologic compilation mylars, and updating the image database and web application. Developing digital and physical infrastructure, such as migrating to ArcPro with MDB geodatabase support to continue customer data services. Preserving critical minerals data, including adding references to the Mines and Prospects database, compiling borehole data, and analyzing approximately 180 samples. The grant deliverables include updated databases, published reports, an enhanced web application, and improved metadata for collections, benefiting a range of stakeholders including mineral explorers, archaeologists, environmental consultants, and government agencies.
