Missouri Environmental Geology Atlas

The MEGA 2007 CD-ROM is a collection of interactive computer maps that allows users access to more than 30 statewide geographic information system (GIS) data layers, all from their computer desktops. Significant improvements and additions have been made since MEGA's debut in 2003. New data layers have been added and many of the existing data layers updated.

Layers Listing 151K PDF
Available data layers include: bedrock geology, well and spring locations, dyetrace data, geologic structures, sinkhole locations, alluvial floodplains, certified wells, dye traces, surficial materials, stream hydrology and the U.S. Public Land Survey System. This CD-ROM also provides public domain information such as streams, lakes, roads, urban areas and county boundaries.

Among the additions is a water table map showing static water levels. Other new data layers include drill areas depicting requirements for well construction area boundaries and a mine and mineral occurrence layer. A significant addition to the existing well log layer is a simplified well log that lists various materials encountered during drilling. Missouri House and Senate district boundaries are also part of the collection.

Because the state has been collecting geologic data since the mid-1800s, vast amounts of data are available. This information enables users to apply earth science data to real-world issues. Many of the data layers allow for better decisions related to the use and protection of our state's water. Landowners, developers, engineers, geologists, planners, consultants, first responders, researchers, teachers and students will find this tool particularly helpful.

An easy-to-follow manual will be included along with free software to enable viewing.

Part 5
Pennsylvanian Subsystem

Released on CD-ROM, this 1225-page reference is the definitive work on the stratigraphy of the Pennsylvanian Subsystem in Missouri. The work includes detailed descriptions and discussions of over 200 individual Pennsylvanian stratigraphic units, as well as type sections and reference sections, illustrations, color photographs, and index maps. The CD can be ordered with an optional stratigraphic poster that graphically summarizes the entire Pennsylvanian Subsystem in Missouri.

The Paleozoic Succession in Missouri, Part 5--Pennsylvanian Subsystem of Carboniferous System, Report of Investigations 70, was written by Richard J. Gentile, Professor Emeritus, University of Missouri-Kansas City, and Thomas L. Thompson, Principal Geologist (retired), Division of Geology and Land Survey, Missouri Department of Natural Resources.

This work is certainly the most comprehensive analysis of the Pennsylvanian bedrock of the state of Missouri that has ever been completed. It will prove vital to those using Pennsylvanian bedrock as a resource and to those interested in scientific endeavors as well.

The price of the book on CD-ROM is $26 and the stratigraphic poster is $12.50. Please refer to the online catalog below for tax and shipping fees.
