This Project Grant award of $1,365,444 from the U.S. Geological Survey's National Geological and Geophysical Data Preservation Program (CFDA 15.814) supports two primary activities at the Indiana Geological and Water Survey (IGWS) over a 3-year period from July 2025 to June 2028: Reboxing and inventory of IGWS's bedrock core collection, including collection care, inventory corrections, and possible deaccessioning of oversampled or out-of-state cores. New core boxes will be purchased to improve storage efficiency. Updating and redeveloping the IGWS borehole database, including standardizing field domains, deploying data review tools, and correcting data issues. Previously scanned logs, reports, and other geologic data will also be added to the database. New functionality, including an interactive borehole map and API, will be developed to improve data access and integration with the National Index of Borehole Information. This project aims to provide better maintenance, organization, and public accessibility of IGWS's important geological data and samples, benefiting research, energy exploration, and other industry stakeholders, as well as future data scientists and geologists.
