     "text": "The National Quaternary Geology task seeks to construct continuous Quaternary geologic map coverage to fulfill the mandate of the USGI and to transform the capacity for regional- and national-scale studies of Quaternary geology. By assembling and synthesizing new and existing geologic map compilations this task seeks to build map coverage at two broadly defined scales directly requested in congressional appropriations; \u2018continental\u2019 and \u2018national\u2019."

     "text": "Quaternary geologic deposits represent important reservoirs of hydrologic, aggregate, and other resources and preserve a record of landscape evolution and the distribution and frequency of geologic hazards. These deposits are cataloged in thousands of geologic maps produced over many decades, but many are inconsistent with their neighbors, decades out of date, only available as static representations, and limited by arbitrary boundaries. As a result, it is challenging to utilize geologic maps to assess regional- and national-scale problems in Quaternary geology and geomorphology, make assessments of resources, or systematically characterize natural hazards from earthquakes, landslides, flooding, and debris-flows."
