Energy and Minerals Research Building
The Bipartisan Infrastructure Law has allocated $167 million for a new research facility to be built on the Colorado School of Mines campus that will allow USGS researchers to work alongside the university’s geoscience and energy professors. The new building will house the USGS Geology, Geophysics and Geochemistry Science Center and the Central Energy Resources Science Center.
USGS Central Energy Resources Science Center
The United States Geological Survey (USGS), Central Energy Resources Science Center (CERSC) addresses national and global energy geoscience issues and conducts interdisciplinary research on energy systems. You can explore the projects that are based here using the 'Science' option to the left.
Geology, Geophysics, and Geochemistry Science Center
Welcome to the Geology, Geophysics, and Geochemistry Science Center (GGGSC) located in Lakewood, Colorado on the Denver Federal Center. At GGGSC, we apply expertise in geology, geophysics, and geochemistry to interdisciplinary efforts in support of the USGS mission to address the Nation’s important earth science issues, with an emphasis on mineral resources.
Environmental Assessment
An Environmental Assessment (EA) is being prepared for the proposed Energy and Minerals Research Building. This process will analyze potential environmental impacts, mitigations, and provide opportunities for public comment.
