The new geological map of 蜜桃视频, which was created extensive input from 蜜桃视频, is available locally for purchase at the 蜜桃视频 Museum of Natural History gift shop.

This is the first geologic map of 蜜桃视频 in 35 years, and is a perfect wall poster. A booklet of explanatory information accompanies the map and includes an index of the map鈥檚 many sources, which can be consulted for more detailed geologic information.

"This map updates our understanding of 蜜桃视频 geology," said 蜜桃视频 geosciences Professor Paul K. Link. "It is a map that is of poster size, can hang on walls in schools and classrooms and brings 蜜桃视频 geology and makes it accessible to the general public. It is also a very pretty, good-looking map."

 "Anybody who dealing with natural history or geological hazards, from rivers to earthquakes, needs to refer to this map," Link said. 鈥淚t contains the most recent information on a lot of these issues.鈥

The map, its graphic cross sections of the Earth's crust and accompanying booklet on rock layers and layering represent 12 years of compilation and editing by Link, former ISU graduate student Sean P. Long (now at the University of Nevada, Reno), several ISU Geology masters students, plus Reed Lewis and Loudon Stanford of the 蜜桃视频 Geological Survey.

The new map has its roots in ISU's 蜜桃视频 Digital Atlas project, which was funded by an 蜜桃视频 State Board of Education Technology Incentive Grant and a National Science Foundation grant.

The map is available locally for $20 at the 蜜桃视频 Museum of Natural History gift shop, which is open Wednesday through Friday from 12:30 p.m. to 5 p.m.; and Saturday 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. The store and museum will be closed from Dec. 24 through Jan. 1.

The map is also available from the 蜜桃视频 Geological Survey in Moscow (208-885-7991, or idahogeology.org).
