CFDA 15.810: National Cooperative Geologic Mapping
To produce geologic maps of areas in which knowledge of geology is important to the economic, social, or scientific welfare of individual States.
Objectives
To produce geologic maps of areas in which knowledge of geology is important to the economic, social, or scientific welfare of individual States. StateMap supports: (1) projects which produce new geologic maps with attendant explanatory information including correlation of map units, description of map units and symbols, stratigraphic columns, geologic sections, and other pertinent information; and (2) projects which compile existing geologic data in a digital form for inclusion in the National Digital Geologic Map Database. EdMap: Provide funding for undergraduate and graduate students in academic research programs, through cooperative agreements, that involve geologic mapping and scientific data analysis as major components; expand research and educational capacity of graduate programs that teach earth science students the techniques of geologic mapping and field data analysis; and facilitate the publication and distribution of geologic maps generated in field-based graduate academic research programs.
Eligible applicants
StateMap program is restricted by statue to State geological surveys. Where State surveys are organized under a State university system, an application may be submitted by a State college or university on behalf of the State geological survey. EdMap program is restricted to universities with geoscience or related departments or programs.
