Geology Unit
The Department’s Geology Unit is managed by the State Geologist. During
months appropriate for field work, the geologist is assisted by part-time

-
To provide consultation to state agencies, especially DES;
-
To compile geologic information, synthesize reports, and expand the geologic
database of the state;
-
To act as geologic liaison with federal and Canadian agencies, and other
states; to initiate and manage geologic grants
-
To conduct research on the minerals, materials, and water resources of
the state;
-
To coordinate special projects; and
-
To manage a state program of
geologic publications and their editing and
distribution in cooperation with the NH Department of Resources and Economic
Development.
