The primary objective of the National
Coal Resources Data System (NCRDS) is
to advance the understanding of the
energy endowment of the United States
(U.S.) by gathering and organizing
digital geologic information related to
coal, coal bed gas, shale gas,
conventional and unconventional oil
and gas, geothermal, and other energy
resources and related information
regarding these resources, along with
environmental impacts from using these
resources. These data are needed to
support regional or national assessments
concerning energy resources. Requesting
external cooperation is a way for
NCRDS to collect energy data and
perform research and analyses on the
characterization of geologic material,
and obtain other information (including
geophysical or seismic data, sample
collection for generation of thermal
maturity data) that can be used in
energy resource assessments and related
studies.
The USGS will issue a call for
proposals to support researchers from
State Geological Surveys and associated
accredited state universities that can
provide geologic data to support NCRDS
and other energy assessment projects
being conducted by the USGS.
Data submitted to NCRDS by external
cooperators constitute more than twothirds of the USGS point-source
stratigraphic database (USTRAT) on
coal occurrence. In 2015, NCRDS
supported 21 projects in 19 States. This
program is conducted under various
authorities, including 30 U.S.C. 208–1,
42 U.S.C. 15801, and 43 U.S.C. 31 et
seq. This collection will consist of
applications, proposals and reports
(annual and final).
