Task 1 - Quaternary Geologic Mapping of the New England States
The area encompassed by Task 1 comprises the states in the New England region, including Connecticut, Rhode Island, Massachusetts, Vermont, New Hampshire, and Maine. The primary objective of Task 1 is to compile the elevation of bedrock and sediment thickness, and to conduct new 1:24,000-scale mapping in areas of greatest need. This work is done in close coordination with the New England States Geologic Mapping Coalition to identify new areas and opportunities for Quaternary geologic mapping.
