Mapping and Geologic Investigations
The AZGS staff map and describe the bedrock and surficial geology of Arizona with emphasis on the densely populated Phoenix-Tucson urban corridor. We provide the results of our geologic investigations to those local, state, and federal governmental agencies that are responsible for prudently managing Arizona's land, water, mineral, and energy resources.

Information and Services
Once AZGS staff has compiled geologic data from the field, that information is reviewed in-house to meet publication standards. To inform the public regarding Arizona's geologic setting, we provide maps, reports, and other publications in our bookstore and in our library. More resources are available online through our web site (guess you found those already...). Other services include developing digital information resources for archiving and serving geoscience data (Arizona Geologic Information System), science outreach through the Geologic Extension Service, and maintaining a central repository for well cuttings, cores, and associated supplementary data.
