California Geological Survey has released Special
Publication 126, a history of work performed by California’s state geological
surveys between 1850 and 2015. As one of the first and longest-operating
agencies in the state, CGS has weathered more than 165 years of physical and
political challenges, financial difficulties, changes in scientific
advancement, and public scrutiny. From the sparsely populated Gold Rush days of
the early 1850s through years of rapid population growth and development, CGS
maintained its goal of providing the citizens of California with sound,
unbiased scientific data and advice on the diverse geology of the state, its
mineral resources, and its geologic hazards.
Special Publication 126 is available as a hard copy for $75,
plus $8 to cover shipping. It is not available for download. To purchase the
book, contact our Publications Sales Desk.
