Description
The
primary objective of the EDMAP component of the NCGMP is to train the next
generation of geologic mappers. To do this NCGMP provides funds for graduate
and selected undergraduate students in academic research projects that involve
geologic mapping as a major component. Through these cooperative agreements
NCGMP hopes to expand the research and educational capacity of academic
programs that teach earth science students the techniques of geologic mapping
and field data analysis. Another important goal is to increase the level of
communication between the Nations geologic surveys (both State Geological
Surveys and the USGS) and geologic mappers in the academic community. We hope
that this improved communication will have two results: 1) that the academic
mapping community will learn more about the societal needs that drive geologic
mapping projects at the USGS and State Geologic Surveys, and 2) more geologic
maps produced in academia will eventually be made available to the
public.
