show moreIn accordance with Federal Aviation Administration regulations, the USGS's activities will involve low-altitude flights meticulously planned to ensure community safety and minimize disruptions. The specialized aircraft will be equipped with advanced imaging technology capable of penetrating the Earth's surface to reveal critical geological structures and features. This data is crucial for a variety of applications, including natural resource exploration, environmental monitoring, and natural hazard assessment.
The USGS seeks the cooperation of local communities in Virginia, West Virginia, North Carolina, and South Carolina to facilitate the smooth execution of this project. The information garnered from these flights will significantly enhance our understanding of the geological landscape, contributing to better-informed decisions in land use planning, hazard mitigation, and conservation efforts.
