Back at it for #FieldworkFriday! @virginia_energy geologist Catharine DeGolyer examined an amphibolite outcrop from the Bassett Formation in Franklin County. This mapping work helps assess the region’s potential for #carbonsequestration and #criticalminerals.

We love talking with landowners! @virginia_energy geologists Patrick Finnerty and Drew Wolf recently met with a landowner to discuss historic coal resources and diabase features in the Piedmont. This data will be available when the Winterpock quad is published. #fieldworkfriday

What is the value of a geologic map? This report published by AGI provides the first economic analysis of geological mapping for the entire U.S., indicating a strong return on investment! tinyurl.com/mapanalys Pictured: @virginia_energy geologists and a recent map publication.
