About Our Publication

Dedicated to the rigorous, neutral analysis of geological exploration efforts across the United States.

Our History & Mission

The US Geological Exploration Review was established to fill a critical niche in geoscience communication. It provides a structured, journalistic platform for examining national exploration programs, field research, and resource assessment without commercial bias.

The publication's content is strictly analytical, focusing on the strategic role of geology in energy, minerals, infrastructure, and environmental protection. It avoids speculative claims and financial terminology, adhering to a professional, informative tone.

Our mission is to document and analyze the methodologies, findings, and institutional frameworks that define geological exploration in the United States, serving researchers, policymakers, and the informed public. For further reading on national programs, visit the official USGS website.
