Alaska coal database, National Coal Resource Database System

Project Details

---

• Project ID:

  86

• Nickname/Abbreviation:

  NCRDS

• Parent Project:

  Energy Resources Section projects

• Status:

  Active

• Description:

  Provides data to the National Coal Resource Database System, a cooperative venture between the USGS and State geological agencies that began in 1975 and focused on the stratigraphy and chemistry of coal. The long term goal of DGGS' participation is to record all known coal occurrences in Alaska and archive the information in a single, readily accessible database. The NCRDS program is funded by USGS through a multi-year proposal process with final reporting at the end of each funding period, which is typically a 5-year cycle.
