To provide public access to geological publications, maps, reports, databases, and research products that support geoscience research, natural resource management, and environmental decision-making in Arizona.
The Arizona Geological Survey (AZGS) serves as Arizona's primary source of geologic information and has been publishing geological maps, reports, and related materials since 1915. The Publications Repository acts as a centralized portal for accessing historical and current geological information produced by AZGS and its predecessor organizations.
The repository contains thousands of geological resources, including geologic maps, technical reports, bulletins, circulars, open-file reports, contributed reports, mining records, geochemical datasets, bibliographic records, oil and gas well data, geothermal data, subsurface resource information, and natural hazards datasets. Resources cover topics such as geology, hydrogeology, groundwater resources, mineral resources, mining, oil and gas, geothermal energy, geologic hazards, earthquakes, faults, earth fissures, flood risk, geochemistry, stratigraphy, paleontology, landforms, and environmental geology. The repository includes publications dating from 1915 to the present, as well as historical records from predecessor agencies. Users can access reports, maps, databases, interactive tools, and downloadable datasets through a searchable platform.
The repository aggregates publications, maps, and datasets produced through geological field investigations, geologic mapping programs, groundwater studies, mineral resource assessments, geochemical analyses, mining surveys, hazard investigations, oil and gas monitoring programs, and academic research conducted by AZGS and collaborating organizations. The platform serves as a digital archive and distribution system for these materials.
