Sedimentary basins are of particular interest because they are repositories of economically important byproducts of sedimentary processes and are commonly rich in subsurface data. Due to the importance of sedimentary basins to various stakeholders, characterizing these systems at their native scale naturally facilitates coordination with regional experts from State Surveys and other USGS mission areas. These lines of communication also benefit broad objectives of the US Geoframework Initiative, including the development of data standards for detailed and regional 3D models." }, { "@type": "TextObject", "text": "(3) ensuring that detailed sedimentary basin data is integrated into a regional- to national-scale seamless 3D geologic database." } ], "funder": { "@type": "Organization", "name": "Geosciences and Environmental Change Science Center", "url": "https://www.usgs.gov/centers/geosciences-and-environmental-change-science-center" }, "about": [ { "@type": "Thing", "name": "Stratigraphy" }, { "@type": "Thing", "name": "USGI" }, { "@type": "Thing", "name": "Information Systems" }, { "@type": "Thing", "name": "geospatial datasets" }, { "@type": "Thing", "name": "geology" }, { "@type": "Thing", "name": "Sedimentology" }, { "@type": "Thing", "name": "Methods and Analysis" }, { "@type": "Thing", "name": "Geology" }, { "@type": "Thing", "name": "Energy" }, { "@type": "Thing", "name": "Environmental Health" }, { "@type": "Thing", "name": "Water" }, { "@type": "Thing", "name": "U.S. GeoFramework Initiative" }, { "@type": "Thing", "name": "standards development" }, { "@type": "Thing", "name": "Maps and Mapping" }, { "@type": "Thing", "name": "Science Technology" } ]
