• Project ID:

  791

• Nickname/Abbreviation:

  GERILA

• Parent Project:

  GIC Section projects

• Status:

  Ongoing

• Description:

  The DGGS Geologic Earth Resource Library of Alaska (GERILA) is the enterprise database back-end to the Alaska Division of Geological & Geophysical Survey's (DGGS) website and enterprise data repository. GERILA serves as an index to geologic information that supports State of Alaska statutes relating to the potential of Alaskan land for the production of metals, minerals, fuels, and geothermal resources, the locations and supplies of groundwater and construction material (Sec. 41.08.010), and the potential geologic hazards to buildings, roads, bridges, and other installations and structures and systematic collection, recording, evaluation, and distribution of hydrological and seismic hazard data declared to be of public interest (Sec. 41.08.017). Much of the information stored in GERILA is viewable through DGGS's public website, which provides search interfaces for specific data modules, including our geologic publications catalog (https://dggs.alaska.gov/pubs).
