IGS Geode

The IGS Geode, produced by the Iowa Geological Survey (IGS), is our newest annual publication, started in fall 2017. The magazine describes some of the activities and products of the IGS over the past year. As you browse through these pages, we hope you’ll better appreciate the breadth and depth of the IGS’ work and its connections to the IIHR mission.
