Earth MRI: Revealing critical resources across the western United States
Detailed Description
The USGS Earth Mapping Resources Initiative (Earth MRI) is accelerating modern geological and geophysical mapping across the Western United States and the nation.
Through partnerships with state surveys, federal agencies, Tribes, universities, and industry, Earth MRI applies advanced technologies to fill gaps in geologic knowledge—especially across the West’s expansive, resource‑rich landscapes spanning Idaho, California, Nevada, and beyond. This video highlights how comprehensive geophysical, geochemical, and mapping data are revealing critical mineral resources, supporting geothermal and lithium exploration, improving hazard awareness, and equipping Western communities and industries with the information needed to unlock new opportunities for the future.
