Geoscience In Your State showcases the role of the geosciences in every state in the U.S. through a curated collection of information resources, including factsheets developed by AGI's Geoscience Policy program that 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.

Other information resources include:

  • Case studies that highlight examples of how research in the geosciences is being applied to decision making;
  • Factsheets that provide short, clearly written, and scientifically rigorous introductions to a range of topics;
  • A curated collection of interactive maps and visualization tools from federal and state agencies;
  • Webinars touching on state-specific geoscience topics, challenges and solutions;
  • State geological survey publications and USGS factsheets related to geoscience activities within the state;
  • A listing of state and local government agencies and other organizations within the state that work on geoscience issues.
