Ohio Geological Survey

The Ohio Geological Survey is a scientific organization that studies Ohio's rocks, minerals, and underground resources. It gathers and shares information about the state's geology to support safe land use, resource management, environmental protection, and public awareness. Their work includes mapping mineral deposits, assessing groundwater supplies, and identifying potential hazards like sinkholes or landslides. By providing detailed geological data, the survey helps policymakers, engineers, and researchers make informed decisions that benefit Ohio’s development and natural conservation efforts.
