Abstract:

The Geologic Inquiries Group (GIG) is the information office which acts as the primary public interface for locating Geologic Information. GIG provides information and answers questions of a geologic nature. From the simple to the very technical, geologic questions can be directed to GIG.

          GIG will provide or arrange for complete and specific responses to all geology-related questions from the general public, precollege and college teachers and students, businesses, government agencies, and from other information offices.
