Release of the 2023 AASG Journal

The AASG Journal has been produced since 1930, to document the work of state geological surveys, and of AASG, twice per year until 1970, and once per year thereafter. The 2023 AASG Journal was edited and produced by the Washington Geological Survey, under the lead of AASG Editor and Washington State Geologist Casey Hanell. The Publication Editors were Jessica Czajkowski, Joel Gombiner, Nikolas Midttun, and Susan Schnur. The front cover photo shows the Bear Den Member of the Golden Valley Formation (Paleocene) in North Dakota, courtesy of the North Dakota Department of Mineral Resources. The current Journal is linked from the AASG web site under About. Great job!

DMT will be in Illinois this year

Since 1997, the annual Digital Mapping Techniques workshops (“DMT”) have brought together geological mapping professionals, from across the USA and beyond, with an emphasis on GIS and other aspects of information science. 

The DMT’24 workshop will be held May 13 – 16, 2024 in Normal, Illinois at Illinois State University. DMT’24 is an in-person event, organized by staff of the Illinois State Geological Survey, the Illinois State University Department of Geography/Geology, and the National Geologic Map Database.

Since the beginning, Dave Soller of USGS has done a superb and appreciated job on organizing DMT, with colleagues. Hope to see you in Illinois!
