Title:
Virginia Dept. of Energy's approach to multi-scale geologic mapping with GeMS
Description:
The Virginia Dept. of Energy's Geology and Mineral Resources Program has been focused on multi-scale mapping compilations since the GeMS (Geologic Map Schema) format was introduced in 2020 by the USGS. A new statewide compilation map of Virginia exists as a GeMS-compliant geodatabase and has served as the foundation for all subsequent mapping efforts within Virginia. Combining geologic field work, GIS cartography, and python scripts, our multi-scale mapping efforts are transforming how the Virginia Survey delivers geologic map information to the public!
