In addition to being
the primary source for geologic
information in California government,
the California Geological Survey (CGS)
is active in the earth science education
community, providing resouces to
educators that are helpful in teaching
the Science Content Standards at a
variety of grade levels. CGS's
Educational Resource webpage (http://www.consrv.ca.gov/cgs/information/EdResCenter.htm)
contains maps and information addressing
the geology, mineral resources, faults
and earthquake epicenters, geologic and
seismic hazards, volcanic sources, and
many other facets of earth science in
California.
The following CGS
web resources include useful maps,
articles, and displays used by CGS
during the California Science Education
Conference (http://www.cascience.org/conference.html).
