The State Component of the National Cooperative Geologic Mapping Program
This grant funds the development and enhancement of geologic mapping programs at the state level.
About this program
The State Component of the National Cooperative Geologic Mapping Program is designed to support state geological surveys in their efforts to produce high-quality geologic maps. These maps are essential for understanding the geological framework of states, which can inform land use planning, resource management, and environmental protection. The program aims to foster collaboration between state and federal agencies to improve the quality and accessibility of geologic data. Eligible applicants include state geological surveys and other entities involved in geologic mapping. The program encourages innovative approaches to mapping and data dissemination, ensuring that the resulting geologic maps are useful for a wide range of stakeholders, including policymakers, researchers, and the public. By enhancing the state's geologic mapping capabilities, this grant ultimately contributes to better decision-making regarding land and resource management.
