Description
The National Cooperative Geologic Mapping Program (NCGMP) is a program that aims to prioritize the geologic mapping requirements of the Nation and increase the production of geologic maps. The STATEMAP component of the NCGMP focuses on establishing the geologic framework of areas vital to the economic, social, or scientific welfare of individual States and the Nation. The program provides funding for geologic mapping projects, with a focus on creating a national geologic framework model. The projects can include creating and submitting new geologic maps, derivative maps, and other geologic mapping products. The program also supports the development of a national geologic map database and the creation of a seamless national 2D/3D geologic framework model.
Some of the key features of the program include:
* Creating and submitting new geologic maps and derivative maps
* Developing a national geologic framework model
* Creating a seamless national 2D/3D geologic framework model
* Supporting the development of a national geologic map database
* Providing funding for geologic mapping projects
* Focusing on areas vital to the economic, social, or scientific welfare of individual States and the Nation
