These digital databases are necessary in support of resource management, critical mineral assessment, water quality modeling, infrastructure development, and geoscience research.  The National Geologic Synthesis (NGS) project was created as part of USGI to produce these data by coordinating with the branches of the National Cooperative Geologic Mapping Program and assembling a set of unified products from those contributions."

Congress recently directed NCGMP to \u201cbring together detailed national and continental-resolution 2D and 3D information produced throughout the [U.S. Geological] Survey and by federal and state partners.\u201d In response NCGMP instituted the US GeoFramework Initiative (USGI)."
