AASG Editor Dick Berg, State Geologist of Illinois, working
with his highly capable staff, has released the 2019 AASG Journal, which
outlines the ongoing, comprehensive role played by state geological surveys
across the USA. The Journal illustrates the earlier quantitative report by AASG
Statistician Jerry Boak, State Geologist of Oklahoma, who reported last year that funding
to state geological surveys in FY18 was stable as a whole at $231 million, and
total staffing was at 1853 person-years. A slight increase was projected for
FY19. Gender balance among geoscientists is gradually rising, and is now at 28%.
