Another purpose of the section is effective coordination with private, local, county, State and Federal individuals, groups,
or agencies that might be affected by potential or existing geologic hazards or environmental geology issues. Coordination is
achieved through formal and informal meetings, office visits, telephone conferences, talks or seminars, and the preparation and
distribution of published and unpublished maps and reports.
The section operates the Earth Science Information Center (ESIC) for the State of Wyoming. The ESIC, which is a cooperative
program with the US Geological Survey, makes multipurpose cartographic, hydrologic, and geologic data, as well as information
about the data available to the public and other users. This includes information on maps, charts, aerial photographs, space
imagery, and geodetic and other survey data.
In addition, the section functions as an earthquake information center for Wyoming, responding to inquiries and acting as a
clearinghouse on earthquake data and seismic events.
