alaska_geologic_map_index: Geologic Map Index of Alaska web application that provides the locations, outlines, and current status of Alaska geological and geophysical maps from government agencies in a single, interactive, Internet-accessible location. open_data_metadata_data_stewardship: Open Data compliance, FGDC metadata, and data stewardship is an ongoing program to ensure public access, federal data standards, and responsible stewardship of the interpretive and raw data products created by DGGS scientists. Project responsibilities include publication database development and archiving, providing FDGC-compliant metadata, and compiling machine-readable data products for online distribution. Geospatial and analytical datasets published by DGGS are designed to be compatible with a wide variety of digital mapping software, to present DGGS geospatial data in multiple ways, and to provide the State with a comprehensive repository of geoscientific data that the Division collects and distributes. field_stations_samples_database: The field stations and samples project is an ongoing project to compile and catalog field station and sample locations and observations during and in support of DGGS projects. Many station observations record data from remote locations that are often impossible or prohibitively expensive to revisit. The data catalog includes a web-based search function that allows users to discover analytical, publication, and sample archive. projects_database: The DGGS projects database is an ongoing project to compile information about DGGS scientific and information architecture programs. The records catalog project names, locations, funding sources, and related work. The database also cross-references field stations and sample locations and descriptions, publications, archived geologic samples, geochemical data, and field and analytical sample images.

The DGGS GERILA database was envisioned more than 30 years ago and is actively updated and expanded as new information becomes available or published. Numerous DGGS staff have contributed to it's design, network support, and source data. Conrtiutors of note include Ellen Daley, Joni Robinson, Gail Davidson, Carrie Browne, Ken Papp, Melissa Nelson, Chris Ramey, Kristen Hendricks, Chris Wyatt, and John Barefoot. Development of this database was initiated as part of the federally funded Minerals Data and Information Rescue in Alaska (MDIRA) program in 2000, the federal National Geological and Geophysical Data Preservation Program (NGGDPP) has funded paper to digial conversion of several additional datasets, and ongoing data input, use, and maintenance of the database system are now an integral part of DGGS's operations supported by State general funds along. The views and conclusions contained in this document are those of the authors and should not be interpreted as necessarily representing the official policies, either expressed or implied, of the U.S. Government.
GERILA serves as an index to geologic information supporting State of Alaska statutes.
