Fundamental Science Practices
USGS provides unbiased, objective, and impartial scientific information upon which our audiences, including resource managers, planners, and other entities, rely.
USGS provides unbiased, objective, and impartial scientific information upon which our audiences, including resource managers, planners, and other entities, rely.
Our programs produce accurate geologic maps and 3-D geologic frameworks that provide critical data for sustaining and improving the quality of life and economic vitality of the Nation. They also organize, maintain, and publish the geospatial baseline of the Nation's topography, natural landscape, built environment and more.

Map showing locations and statistical parameters of beach and offshore sand samples, Tutuila Island, American Samoa Map showing locations and statistical parameters of beach and offshore sand samples, Tutuila Island, American Samoa
In April 1985, sand samples were collected from many of the beaches on Tutuila Island, American Samoa, and in July 1985, three bays were surveyed using side-scan sonar and shallow seismic profiling. During that second trip, scuba divers collected sand samples from the surveyed areas. Dingler and others (1986) describes the study; this report presents the grain-size and composition data...
Map showing the distribution and characteristics of plutonic rocks in the Tonopah 1 degree by 2 degrees Quadrangle, central Nevada Map showing the distribution and characteristics of plutonic rocks in the Tonopah 1 degree by 2 degrees Quadrangle, central Nevada
Plutonic rocks, mostly granite and granodiorite, are widely distributed in the west two-thirds of the Tonopah 1 degree by 2 degree quadrangle, Nevada. These rocks were systematically studied as part of the Tonopah CUSMAP project. Studies included field mapping, petrographic and modal analyses, geochemical studies of both fresh and altered plutonic rocks and altered wallrocks, and K-Ar...
Maps and seismic profiles showing geology of the inner continental shelf, Cape Ann, Massachusetts to New Hampshire Maps and seismic profiles showing geology of the inner continental shelf, Cape Ann, Massachusetts to New Hampshire
This interpretation of the geology of the Inner Continental Shelf from Cape Ann, Mass. to New Hampshire (fig. 1) is based on high-resolution seismic-reflection surveys conducted in 1979 and 1980 as part of a cooperative program between the Massachusetts Department of Public Works and the U.S. Geological Survey. Seismic data were collected aboard the RV Gilliss along 104 kilometers (km)...
Maps and seismic profiles showing geology of the inner continental shelf, Massachusetts Bay, Massachusetts Maps and seismic profiles showing geology of the inner continental shelf, Massachusetts Bay, Massachusetts
This report depicts the geology and discusses the geologic history of the Inner Continental Shelf off the central part of the Massachusetts east coast. Massachusetts Bay is located between Cape Cod Bay and Cape Ann, and its eastern limit lies in the vicinity of Stellwagen Basin (figs. 1, 2).
Maps showing anomalous copper concentrations in stream sediments and heavy-mineral concentrates from the Ajo and Lukeville 1 degree by 2 degrees quadrangles, Arizona Maps showing anomalous copper concentrations in stream sediments and heavy-mineral concentrates from the Ajo and Lukeville 1 degree by 2 degrees quadrangles, Arizona
This map is part of a folio of maps of the Ajo and Lukeville 1 ° x 2° quadrangles, Arizona, prepared under the Conterminous United States Mineral Assessment Program. Other publications in this folio include U.S. Geological Survey Miscellaneous Field Studies Maps MF-1831-A and MF-1831-B and Open-File Reports 82-119, 82–599, and 83–734. Open-File Reports 82-119 and 83–731 constitute the...
