Created
by an act of Congress in 1879, the USGS has evolved over
the ensuing 120 years, matching its talent and knowledge
to the progress of science and technology. Today, the USGS
stands as the sole science agency for the Department of
the Interior. It is sought out by thousands of partners
and customers for its natural science expertise and its
vast earth and biological data holdings. The USGS is the
science provider of choice in accessing the information
and understanding to help resolve complex natural resource
problems across the Nation and around the world.
Colorado
Geological Survey
The
Colorado Geological Survey (CGS) provides a variety of services
to federal, state, and local government agencies, Colorado's
mineral and energy industries, and private citizens. Services
include: geologic mapping, including digitized data for
identifying geological hazards and mineral resources; technical
assistance on topics like swelling soils, and school site
and land use reviews; and research and economic development
information on Colorado's mineral and energy industries.
The CGS is also the home of the Colorado
Avalanche Information Center, which provides avalanche
hazard monitoring and research. The CGS publishes and distributes
its geology-related research in the form of maps and technical
reports, as well as non-technical publications such as Colorado's
Dinosaurs.
Geological
Society of America
Established
in 1888, The Geological Society of America provides access
to elements that are essential to the professional growth
of earth scientists at all levels of expertise and from
all sectors: academic, government, business, and industry.
This website contains free abstracts and articles from their
Geology publication back to 1995, many relating
to the San Juan Mountains.

Digital
Library for Earth System Education (DLESE)
DLESE
is conceived of as a community center — an intellectual
commons for the global Earth system community — the
primary point of contact for students, educators, and citizens
seeking access to reliable information about the Earth and
the best methods to promote learning about the Earth. The
building of DLESE is a coordinated community effort. This
incorporates the notion of users-as-contributors: DLESE
collections, services, and tools will be developed by the
Earth system, education, library, digital library, and information
technology communities at large, a distributed network of
individuals and partners.
Institute
of Arctic and Alpine Research (NSTAAR)
The
Institute of Arctic and Alpine Research (INSTAAR) strives
for excellence in research, education, and outreach related
to Earth System Science and Global Change in high-latitude,
alpine, and other environments. An institute within the
Graduate School of the University of Colorado, INSTAAR is
affiliated with the Departments of CEA Engineering, Environmental
Studies, EPO Biology, Geography, and Geological Sciences.
