Geologic and geophysical research:

• Regional Geophysics (gravity, magnetism, and paleomagnetism, electrical resistivity)
  
  
• Geologic mapping and three-dimensional modeling of geologic framework studies
  • For groundwater and geothermal resource studies
  • For seismic hazards analyses
  • For buried mineral deposit assessments
    
    
• Surficial geologic mapping and geomorphologic analysis
  • For neotectonic and fault history analyses
    
    
• Energy Resource Assessments (including oil & gas)
  
  
• Earth surface processes:
  • Hazards: landslides, debris flows, rockfalls, flood hazards
  • Climate history, fire sciences, sedimentology
    
    
• Stratigraphy, chronostratigraphy, tephrochronology, and paleontology
  
  
• Support for National Park Service-related geologic mapping and research
