• Project ID:

  1603

• Nickname/Abbreviation:

  GeMS/Radon

• Parent Project:

  GIC Section projects

• Status:

  Complete

• Description:

  Through a 2016 grant from the EPA's Environmental Information Exchange Network Grant Program, DGGS and UAF's School of Natural Resources and Extension (SNRE) are creating and populating a statewide database of indoor radon tests and related environmental data. This grant is also funding the creation of a multi-map, multi-user "enterprise" database model based on the single-map Geologic Map Schema (GeMS) developed by the USGS and state geological surveys (https://ngmdb.usgs.gov/Info/standards/GeMS/). The enterprise database model is intended for use by state and federal geological survey programs, as is a pilot data-sharing protocol to be developed with the model.
