USGS Publishes Updated State Geologic Map Compilation #geoscience #geology

Cover of the SGMC Report from the USGS
The USGS published an update to the State Geologic Map Compilation (SGMC) geodatabase of the conterminous United States. It represents a seamless, spatial database of 48 State geologic maps that range from 1:50,000 to 1:1,000,000 scale, and this version includes updated data for six states, data for seven entirely new states, and numerous corrected errors since the preliminary dataset was launched.

Interactive map of geothermal wells and springs in Idaho

The Idaho Department of Water Resources provides an interactive map with information on geothermal wells and springs in the state. Wells and springs are split into low-temperature (85 to 212 degrees fahrenheit) and high-temperature (above 212 degrees) groups.

Users can click on individual wells and springs to find more information, including temperature, discharge, and use.

The map also includes information about groundwater vulnerability across the state.

Interactive map of groundwater levels and subsidence in the Houston-Galveston area

The U.S. Geological Survey provides an interactive map that allows users to view changes in groundwater levels and associated land subsidence since 1977 in the Houston-Galveston area.

The map uses annual data from over 800 wells, and shows changes in water levels in three major aquifers in the region: the Chicot, Evangeline, and Jasper aquifers.

Interactive map of sea level rise impacts in Delaware

The Delaware Sea Level Rise Inundation map shows how various extents of future sea level rise (0.5, 1.0, and 1.5 meters) would affect flooding in coastal Delaware. For each scenario, users can see the areas that would be flooded during an average higher tide (Mean Higher High Water). The map does not include the effects of erosion, subsidence, or future construction.

Users can search by location to see the effects on individual areas.
