The State of Alaska Division of Geological & Geophysical Surveys Surficial Geologic Mapping and Corridor Studies Program is committed to better understanding the state's surficial material resources and potential geologic hazards by using a combination of field-based and remote sensing techniques to gather essential information that can be used for making more informed land management and planning decisions in areas of state-identified need.
