Earth MRI and the Southeast

Through Earth MRI, the USGS Mineral Resources Program is leading the Nation in the search for critical minerals. Earth MRI collects the data needed to update the Nation’s maps of geology and mineral resources, as well as to evaluate energy and groundwater resources and natural hazards. 

This handout is part of a series showing the impact of Earth MRI in different regions of the U.S. You can find handouts related to other regions at Earth MRI in Action | U.S. Geological Survey.
