Description

The Earth MRI mission is to collect geophysical, geologic, and topographic data in areas of critical mineral potential across the Nation. Earth MRI is a collaborative approach to acquiring data for the nation. The implementation model for Earth MRI Geologic Mapping Awards (GMA) is based on multi-agency partnerships with the State Geological Surveys for geologic framework data collection, with the USGS acting in a lead program management role to facilitate planning and acquisition for the broader community, through the use of Cooperative Agreements.
