Abstract
According to the National Geological and Geophysical Data Preservation Program (NGGDPP) web site, section 351 of the Energy Policy Act of 2005 directs the Secretary of the Department of the Interior (DOI), through the Director of the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), to carry out a National Geological and Geophysical Data Preservation Program. The Implementation Plan for the NGGDPP, submitted to Congress in August 2006, outlines the vision and purpose of the program and makes recommendations for its implementation. One of the early action items in the implementation plan is for USGS to begin interactions with State Geological Surveys and other DOI agencies that maintain geological and geophysical data and samples to address their preservation and data rescue needs. As the first step in this process, USGS requested that each state provide an assessment of current collection resources and data preservation needs, and thus provide a summary of the collections held, supported, or used by state geological surveys.
