The Wisconsin Geological Survey is offering a grant for the 1:100,000 Scale Quaternary Mapping of the Superior Region in Wisconsin. This project aims to map the surficial features of four counties bordering Lake Superior at a detailed scale. The focus this year is on Bayfield County to provide valuable information for activities such as aggregate mining, flood hazard assessment, and understanding the distribution of glacial sediments. This grant opportunity supports the survey’s involvement in the Great Lakes Geologic Mapping Coalition and will contribute to a better understanding of the geological landscape in the region. Application deadline: Jul 24, 2018.

| Description: | Notice of Intent to award a cooperative agreement to the Wisconsin Geological and Natural Hi story Survey, under the auspices of the University of Wisconsin, in support of their project entitled ” 1:100,000 Scale Quaternary Mapping of the Superior Region Wisconsin”. The main objective of the project is surficial mapping of the four counties bordering Lake Superior in northwestern Wisconsin at a scale of 1:100,000. This year’s mapping will focus on Bayfield County, and resulting maps will inform aggregate mining, flood hazards, and three-dimensional distribution of glacial and proglacial sediments in the region. As part of the Great Lakes Geologic Mapping Coalition, the Wisconsin Geological and Natural History Survey is uniquely qualified to perform the project objectives. |
