STATEMAP Grant Awarded to the Division of Geology and Land Survey
Missouri STATEMAP Geologic Mapping Project
The Division of Geology and Land Survey was recently awarded a grant in the amount of $121,739 from the U.S. Geological Survey as ongoing support to advance detailed geologic mapping in the St. Louis area. Since 1993, we have been actively involved in the USGS National Cooperative Geologic Mapping Program and have produced 102 bedrock and 95 surficial material geologic maps, at a scale of 1:24,000 fro locations across the state. Geologists will coordinate supporting data from the Missouri Department of Transportation and the Department of Geological Sciences and Engineering at the Missouri University of Science & Technology. Bedrock and surficial material geologic mapping in Missouri is needed to establish the geologic framework of areas determined to be vital to the economic, social and environmental well-being of Missouri. The principal investigator for this grant is Cheryl Seeger, Ph.D., R.G. Learn more about STATEMAP –Joe
