The Colorado Geological Survey (CGS) is a state government agency located within the Colorado School of Mines. They offer a wide range of science-driven services and are dedicated to bringing the best of Colorado geoscience to the public. Their mission is to reduce the impact of geologic hazards, promote responsible economic development of mineral and energy resources, provide geologic insight into water resources, and offer sound geologic advice and information to various constituencies.
The CGS provides valuable resources such as interactive maps, publications, and GIS data to assist with land use planning, water resource management, and understanding geologic hazards. They also conduct research and case studies on topics like natural acid rock drainage, karst morphology, and fluvial hazard zones. Additionally, they publish annual reports on the state's mineral and energy industry activities and provide geologic mapping for specific areas of interest. Working in collaboration with the Colorado Department of Transportation, they also contribute to understanding potential geohazards along state highways.
