The USGS Mineral Resources Program provided funding for this survey in support of the Alaska/Yukon Geologic and Geophysical Reconciliation Project; Cooperative Agreement Number: G15AC00033 Supplement Number: 0001 Effective Date: 2015-06-09 Completion Date: 2016-09-30 CFDA Number: 15.808 DUNS Number: 111188079+0000
The Tanacross geophysical survey was implemented by DGGS and funded by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Mineral Resources Program. The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Mineral Resources Program supports data collection and research on a wide variety of nonfuel mineral resources that are important to the Nation's economic and national security. The Program's science portfolio encompasses the full spectrum of mineral resource science, allowing for a comprehensive understanding of the complete life cycle of nonfuel mineral resources and materials; this includes resource formation, discovery, production, consumption, use, recycling, and reuse, as well as an understanding of environmental issues of concern throughout the life cycle. The Mineral Resources Program is part of the USGS Energy and Minerals Mission Area.
