Florida Geological Survey News and Research

Dear FGS Friends and Customers,

In this Winter 2014 issue, I am pleased to share with you updates on FGS happenings related to continuing research, staff activities, awards and the GEOFACT series - a new addition to our newsletter. Given the broad spectrum of recipients of this newsletter, GEOFACT – a series of Florida geology articles, will strike a good balance for technical and non-technical readers as we provide information on geoscience topics of interest.

Since the inception of our institution in 1907, the FGS has published annual or biennial reports to provide a periodic record of activities that include research, assessments, budget, accomplishments, and related information. I welcome you to read our latest Biennial Report, which provides an in-depth look at the FGS during that period.

Thanks for your interest in the FGS. If you have any questions about the Biennial Report, or the articles below, please contact us. I would also welcome your feedback regarding suggestions for future GEOFACT topics.

Best regards,

Jonathan D. Arthur, Ph.D., P.G.
Director and State Geologist
Office of the Florida Geological Survey
Florida Department of Environmental Protection
