Appendix H
A PARTIAL SURVEY OF PRODUCTION AND AVAILABILITY
OF FOREIGN GEOSCIENCE MAPS
Compiled by D.M. Curtis
1.
Who produces maps (other than agencies of foreign governments)
U.S.
U.S. or Bilateral/multilateral funding (USGS funded by other
agencies):
Saudi Arabia = 77% of total USGS international funding in 1982
($17.7 million)
Circum-Pacific Map project (non-government and multilateral)
International Stratigic Mineral Inventory
DOS Trade and Development Program--for 4 strategic minerals
(Philippines, Peru, Morocco) (Maps? $$$?)
DOS/AID Technical Assistance Programs
Remote sensing for mapping: Egypt, Kenya, Bolivia
Fossil fuels and geothermal: Morocco, Bangladesh, Pakistan,
Jordan, Malawi, Costa Rica, Senegal
South Pacific Hydrocarbon Resource Investigation (joint
USGS/DOS/AID)
East Africa Regional Remote Sensing Center
Utilization Grants Program using Landsat data (for resource
mapping, etc.~: Bolivia, Chile, Philippines
NASA: satellite mapping programs in global geodynamics
(gravity, magnetic maps soon)
DOD: Defense Mapping Agency (no information)
Circum-Pacific Map Project of Circum-Pacific Council for Energy
and Minerals, CCOP (Coordinating Committee for Offshore
Prospecting): maps published by AAPG
Other governmental and non-governmental agencies are engaged in
making various types of geological maps, some of which include
foreign areas
Note: Landsat data are being used for geological mapping in many
countries, such as Philippines, Egypt, Pakistan, Sudan, Swaziland,
Syria, Thailand, Tunisia, Zaire. Maps for developing countries have
limited availability because these countries have problems in
compiling, editing, and publishing.

Foreign (international funding and/or administration by
international agency)
COMA - Commission for Geological Map of the World (JUGS;
supported by BRGM; marketed by AAPG)
ESCAP - Economic and Scientific Commission for Asia and the
Pacific (UN)
SEATAR - Studies of SE Asia Tectonics and Resources (CCOP
and ESCAP)
IOC - Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission (JUGS? ICSU??)
Committee for General Bathymetric Chart of the Oceans
(GEBCO); Central Editorial Board oversees preparation and
publication of Geological/Geophysical Atlases of the Atlantic
and Pacific Oceans by USSR. Products expected beginning
1984.
IGCP - International Geological Correlation Programme (JUGS and
UNESCO); currently 15 IGCP projects (worldwide) will have
maps as a product. Significant among these is #32,
Stratigraphic Correlations between Basins of the ESCAP
Region, which has already produced 3 volumes of the ESCAP
Atlas of Stratigraphy and 12 map atlas sheets of sedimentary
basins of the ESCAP region.
UNESCO projects for regional development (i.e., Africa Project;
possibly more)
International Association of Hydrogeologists - workshop on
hydrogeological maps of SE Asia (Do they make maps or compile
lists?)
ICL (Lithosphere project) will produce maps?
Oceanographic Institutions and geological institutes worldwide
DSDP - IPOD
2. Where are they? - Collections
North America
U.S. Geological Survey - has extensive collections of geological
maps, worldwide
Library of Congress, Geography and Map Division - has largest
map collection in the world; domestic and foreign (except
USSR); 3.7 million maps; 44,000 atlases; 8,000 reference
works, 50,000 maps, and 800 atlases added annually; DOS
foreign maps* are acquired by exchange or purchase collection
includes extensive holdings of geological maps
Geological Survey of Canada
Also major university libraries, industry libraries, GSA, etc.
Overseas
BRGM (Bureau de Recherche Geologique et Minieres) Paris
IGME (Instituto Geologico y Minero de Espana) Madrid
Bundesanstalt fur Geowissenschaften und Rohstofte -
Germany-Hanover and/or Forschungsgemeinschaft. . . .Bonn?
*DOS, through its Interagency Map and Publication Acquisition
Program collects about 60,000 foreign maps per year - about 10%
geological. These are eventually deposited in the Library of Congress.
