U.S. Geological Survey Director Marcia McNutt visited us on Monday, Feb. 6, the 175th anniversary of the IGS. In a proclamation she said, “To mark this remarkable achievement, your colleagues and partners at the U.S. Geological Survey send our sincere congratulations in recognition of your service to the citizens of Indiana and to the Nation.”
IGS Celebrates 175 Years!
This year the IGS celebrates the 175th anniversary of its founding. "Despite its 'age,' said John Steinmetz, Director, “the Indiana Geological Survey still is busy, vibrant, and thriving in its service to Indiana's citizens and businesses."
IGS researchers have received funding from the U.S. Dept. of Energy to install monitoring sites throughout Indiana to collect data related to shallow subsurface temperatures and thermal properties of unconsolidated sediments.
