Title:

The Florida Geological Survey - Who We Are, What We Do and Collaborative Opportunities



Abstract:

The Florida Geological Survey (FGS) was established by the Florida Legislature in 1907 and is one of the longest, continuously functioning state organizations. The mission of the FGS is to: collect, interpret, maintain, and distribute geologic information to benefit Florida. The FGS is currently located at 3000 Commonwealth Boulevard in Tallahassee, however, we were located on the Florida State University (FSU) campus adjacent to the Geology Department for nearly 58 years. In August of 2014, the FGS moved out of the Herman Gunter Building, and it was demolished to make room for the Earth, Ocean and Atmospheric Sciences Building. FSU and the FGS have historically collaborated on geologic research projects and the FGS has employed many FSU graduates over the years. The last four Florida State Geologists held degrees in geology from FSU and many of our current research geologists have degrees from FSU. In this presentation I will provide a historic overview of the FGS, discuss some ongoing projects and propose some ideas for future FGS/FSU collaboration.

Cheers,



Ming Ye, Robert Spencer, and Zhaohua Wu
