The Iowa Geological Survey at the University of Iowa invites the public to a discussion regarding plans to map the geological features of the Outlet Creek Watershed and the area surrounding Storm Lake.

The IGS partnered with more than a dozen other state surveys on two projects to assess the geochemistry of selected Pennsylvanian and Devonian bedrock formations.

A new research paper by State Geologist Keith Schilling and Iowa DNR collaborators, Calvin Wolter and Jason Palmer, reports, for the first time, the extent of severe streambank erosion occurring in Iowa’s rivers and streams.

Keith Schilling, Iowa’s State Geologist, discusses river form and function for Iowa Rivers Revival and their Master River Stewards Program (MRSP).
