    • Bedrock Lithology for Glaciated Conterminous United States

    Metadata Updated: July 6, 2024

    The bedrock geology for the Glacial Environments and Surficial Sediments (GESS) geodatabase is an amalgamation of several “Integrated Geologic Map Databases for the United States” (Dicken and others, 2008; Ludington and others, 2007; Nicholson and others, 2007-1,-2,-3; Stoeser and others, 2007). Using the LITH62 and LITH62MINO attribute values from that series of maps and the associated lithclass 6.2 code text descriptions from the geodatabase, spatial elements of that geodatabase were grouped. A new GESS attribute was created, “Litho_class,” and each spatial element was given a Litho_class value of non-carbonate sedimentary rock, carbonate rock, non-carbonate metamorphic rock, volcanic rock, plutonic rock, or unconsolidataed (material).
