The Geological Survey, under the Cooperative Agreement Opportunity for Geophysical Surveys in Alaska - Earth Mapping Resources Initiative- FY2024, is offering a funding opportunity to facilitate the collection of geophysical data and associated data. This initiative aims to collect geophysical, geologic, geochemical, and topographic data in areas of critical mineral potential across the Nation. The advanced mapping of the Nation's subsurface geologic resources will also directly benefit our understanding of domestic resources of other economically valuable mineral and energy resources, groundwater resources and water security, geologic hazards, and infrastructure dependencies on subsurface geology. The funding will be in the form of a Cooperative Agreement, and the USGS is designated as the lead Federal agency for geologic map data. The Earth Mapping Resources Initiative is a collaborative approach to acquiring data for the Nation and is mandated by the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act. The close date for electronically submitted applications is 5:00 p.m., ET, on the listed application due date. For more information, contact Amber Brazil at abrazil@usgs.gov.
