STATEMAP

This project uses geologic and geophysical mapping to build an earth-science framework for scientific investigations that include assessments of critical resources, such as groundwater, and of hazards, such as those resulting from earthquakes, in California west of and including the Sierra Nevada and Cascade arc. Questions of particular interest include: What are the geometries, slip rates, and...

The STATEMAP component of the NCGMP funds state partner contributions to the national geologic framework as guided by their economic, social, and scientific needs. STATEMAP mapping priorities are determined by individual states through a multi-representational State Mapping Advisory Committee in concert with their State Geological Survey. State mapping priorities are based on multiple factors...
