show moreUSGS has scheduled the flights to occur over the next several weeks. Small aircraft equipped with imaging technology will fly at low altitudes, capturing high-resolution geological features beneath the Earth's surface. This information is crucial for identifying natural resources, assessing geological hazards, and contributing to environmental monitoring efforts.
Residents may notice the increased air traffic, but all flights will adhere to safety protocols to minimize any disruption or inconvenience. The data collected will support a range of activities, including groundwater studies, mineral exploration, and land-use planning. By understanding the geological framework of the region, the USGS can provide valuable insights for sustainable development and natural resource management.
Community members are encouraged to stay informed about the project and understand its significance for regional geology. The USGS appreciates the cooperation of local communities and aims to conduct these operations with minimal impact on daily life.
For further details, please contact the USGS project team directly. Your support and understanding in facilitating this important geological survey are greatly appreciated.
