State Geology Websites

I may be biased, but I think our State geology portal, supported by the Utah Geological Survey is unsurpassed in excellence. Beyond the design, the site has lots of services, information, and maps available. At the same time, there are some other states with very good geology websites as well. You can look at them all from the Association of American State Geologists. There is some very good content on many of these sites. What do you think?

Geographic Hazards

The Utah Geological Service has done a great job putting new services and information on the web. I just discovered that you can query a historical landslides database. More current information and reports can be found here. I was over in Cedar Hills last night and it looks like they are building even higher on the hills where the 2005 slide occurred. Governor Huntsman commissioned a geologic hazards working group following those slides and it looks like they are ready to present their final recommendations.
