Welcome to the California Geological Survey
California is the most geologically diverse, and — after Alaska — the most seismically active state in the United States of America. The California Geological Survey provides scientific products and services about the state's geology, seismology and mineral resources, including their related hazards, that affect the health, safety, and business interests of the people of California. We are one of the oldest geological surveys in the nation, and today produce more products and provide more services to more people than any other state survey.
