Surficial Geology and Hazards

Surficial geology is concerned with the description of the types and distributions of unconsolidated sediments across the landscape. This information is collected and maintained primarily in maps and databases. It is useful to mineral explorationists, sand and gravel production, hazard assessment, and landuse planning.
