Publications of the Division of Geology and Earth Resources
 We compile and publish geologic maps, which are basic tools used by geologists, civil engineers, and planners, and produce other types of publications that provide geologic information on a wide variety of subjects. Currently, the Division has about 300 publications in print. Our newsletter, TsuInfo Alert, is available electronically on this website; back issues of our journal, Washington Geology, and our newsletter, DGER News, are also available on this website. Our reports and maps are held in libraries nationwide.
