Our Story & Mission

Dedicated to the rigorous analysis of geological exploration and its critical role in understanding our planet.

Our History

The US Geological Exploration Review was established to fill a critical gap in public discourse: the need for a neutral, analytical publication focused solely on the science and strategy of geological exploration within the United States.

Since its inception, the publication has served as a platform for geologists, geophysicists, and Earth science researchers to share findings on national exploration programs, resource assessment, and technological innovation.

Our content has consistently explored topics from seismic research and fault monitoring to the strategic role of geology in energy, minerals, and environmental protection, maintaining a strictly journalistic and professional tone.

Our Mission

To provide structured, informative analysis of geological exploration efforts across the United States. We examine field and subsurface research, national resource assessments, and the work of geoscience institutions without commercial bias, aiming to inform professionals, academics, and the interested public.
