About the Journal

The Kansas Geological Survey Technical Series features timely technical publications on research in groundwater studies, energy resources, geology, geophysics, petrophysics, chemical analysis, and spatial analysis.

The KGS, established in 1889, operates under Kansas statute "…to make as far as possible a complete geological survey of the state of Kansas, giving special attention to any and all natural products of economic importance, in order to determine the character, location and amount of such products, and to prepare reports on the same. . . ."

Throughout its history, the Survey has published a variety of books, maps, and reports on geology, minerals, and geohydrology pertaining to the state of Kansas. Our purpose, overall, is summed up in the motto "Advancing Science, Serving Kansas."
