NDGS Publications

Medium

The Geological Survey publishes maps and reports on North Dakota's mineralogical, paleontological, and geochemical resources, including oil and gas, coal (lignite), uranium, clay, sand and gravel, volcanic ash, potash, and other salts. In addition to mapping subsurface resources, the Survey actively maps the surface geology throughout the state, emphasizing urban areas and identifying geohazards such as landslides.

Survey publications support the regulatory programs of the Industrial Commission and other state and federal agencies. The publications also assist mineral companies, geotechnical consulting firms, city and county governments, landowners, and the citizens of North Dakota.

To get the best results, when searching by keyword, keep in mind that this search will return only those publications with the entered keyword in the title, not text within the publication itself. Words entered here must exist in the title, in order for the publication to appear in the search results. Type a single term or short, consecutive word phrase (e.g. “Williston Basin”). To browse a certain publication series, type the abbreviation followed by a dash (e.g. “RI-" for the Report of Investigation series).
