Kansas Geological Survey

.

The Kansas Geological Survey continues to study the state's resources and prepare publications on its findings. Providing research and service to Kansas since 1889, the Survey publishes information on Kansas geology in books and maps, both technical and educational. The topics of these publications include computer science, engineering geology, geochemistry, geohydrology, geophysics, paleontology, mineral economics, and stratigraphy. The Survey also produces computer programs and databases derived from geologic investigations.

Progressively, the Survey has increased its research programs and facilities. The main office in Lawrence, Kansas employs over 80 researchers and support-staff members and 70 student assistants. A second publications sales office and the Well Sample Library, storing over 131,000 rotary-cutting samples from Kansas wells, are located in west Wichita, Kansas.

The State Geologist and Director of the Kansas Geological Survey is Bill Harrison.
