How does geoscience affect your state?
The AGI Geoscience Policy team created State Geoscience Information factsheets to inform geoscientists and decision makers on how geoscience impacts their state. These factsheets highlight geoscience areas including, employment, water, minerals, energy and hazards in each state. They also demonstrate how federal research agencies, such as the National Science Foundation, U.S. Geological Survey, National Aeronautics and Space Administration, and the National Ocean and Atmospheric Administration contribute beneficial geoscience information to each state.
We currently have factsheets for the states highlighted in green.
Check back again soon, as we are in the process of loading more factsheets to our site.
If you have any questions on our state factsheets, please contact us at govt@americangeosciences.org.

INTRAW
INTRAW takes you back to the Future
The H2020-funded INTRAW project aims at establishing a long-term collaboration between the EU and other technologically advanced countries such as Australia, Canada, Japan, South Africa and the United States and, together, to share knowledge that will be used as a baseline to launch the International Raw Materials Observatory as a definitive raw materials knowledge management infrastructure, on Nov. 7. The Observatory will work on the future of Europe, supported by a sustainable use of its resources and, today, INTRAW has already come up with three scenarios for the state of raw materials management in the EU in the year 2050. Discover more and enjoy this journey back to the Future!

A new study of satellite data finds that numerous volcanic deposits distributed across the surface of the moon contain unusually high amounts of trapped water compared with surrounding terrains. The finding of water in these ancient deposits, which are believed to consist of glass beads formed by the explosive eruption of magma coming from the deep lunar interior, bolsters the idea that the lunar mantle is surprisingly water-rich.

Detailed sea-floor maps made during the unsuccessful search for missing Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370, released by Australia on July 19, could help increase the knowledge of rich fisheries and the prehistoric movement of the Earth's southern continents. The Indian Ocean search ended in January after covering a lonely stretch of open water where under-sea mountains larger than Mount Everest rise and a rift valley dotted with subsea volcanoes runs for hundreds of kilometers.

Time and time again, Earth has been pummeled by asteroids, but that ancient record is often faded and dubious. To bolster the notion that rocks were beat up in an extraterrestrial impact, geologists search for a distinctive signature: microscopic bands in the mineral quartz, created when powerful pressure waves ripple through the rock. Now, a new study suggests that a different sort of shock can create the same banding patterns: a lightning bolt.

In the windswept skein of mountains in India's Western Ghats, geologists are drilling some of Asia's deepest boreholes in an audacious attempt to unlock the mysteries of earthquakes.
The site is Gothane, a table-top 3,051 foot-high mountain in the western state of Maharashtra. More significantly, the place is barely 10 km (6.2 miles) from Koyna, the site of a devastating 6.3 magnitude earthquake in 1967, five years after a big, hydropower dam was built in the region.

Roughly 450 million years ago a region that was likely the size of Europe started to stretch and tear. Deep gashes opened in Earth's crust, spewing lava that leaped into the air up to 500 meters. Once the lava hardened, rainwater dissolved carbon dioxide that the volcanoes had pumped into the atmosphere, washing it back into the ground. Removing the greenhouse gas caused glaciers to creep forward and sea levels to drop, plunging the planet into an ice age that wiped out 85 percent of all marine species.
Researchers laid out this fire-and-ice scenario in a paper recently published in Geology.

With oil development advocates again emboldened by the prospects of cracking open the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, a big secret that could add to the continuing debate over exploration remains as cloaked in mystery as ever. Experts say data from the KIC-1 well — the only well ever drilled in the refuge — remains the tightest of North America's "tight holes," an industry term for top-secret wells. The explorers have kept the data hidden, with only a small number of people aware of what the drillers found.

Geologists and biologists are about to pierce one of the world's youngest islands: tiny Surtsey, which was formed by a series of volcanic eruptions off Iceland's southwestern coast between 1963 and 1967. Next month, the team plans to drill two holes into Surtsey's heart, to explore how warm volcanic rock, cold seawater and subterranean microbes interact.

Armed with gallon Ziploc bags and a pick axe, state mineral researchers are sampling North Dakota coal to make a model for finding rare earth elements in the state's coal seams.
The researchers have been working on the project since 2015, taking 472 samples at 60 sites across the Little Missouri Badlands.
