Georgia Geologic Survey
Goals of the survey are:To conduct and encourage relevant environmental and earth and water resource investigations throughout the State; to publish pertinent results to assist the public in understanding and protecting Georgia's natural resources.
To prepare and update wellhead protection plans for Georgia water well systems that rely upon wells or springs for a drinking water source.
To regulate exploration for petroleum and natural gas, to regulate underground injection, to license water well contractors, and to certify pump installers.
To provide accurate, up‑to‑date geologic maps at various scales and geologic publications for the entire State, and to assure a statewide map and digital database distribution system.
To provide educational material to increase public knowledge of the earth and water resources of Georgia

MantlePlumes
It's a site hosting scholarly articles that are tightly organized around a central hypothesis opposing the majority view of dynamics in the Earth's mantle. The articles are of high quality, and while some are duplicated in the open literature, others are effectively broadsides not meant for hard-copy, aimed at persuasion and written in more approachable language than the typical journal paper. The site also includes more philosophical pieces, and some humor. It's geology with the juice left in.

Geology of farms and cities (02:02) by Biomes of the earth: Core Concepts Video Clip Library
Call Number: Available through GALILEO>Films on Demand>Item 49277
Publication Date: 2010
Geology influences the construction of cities; large underground rock beds can hold skyscrapers. Bedrock affects the drainage of soil for farms.
A deposit model for magmatic iron-titanium-oxide deposits related to Proterozoic massif anothosite plutonic suites by by Laurel Genevieve Woodruff, 1951-
Call Number: I 19.42/4-4:2013-5091
Publication Date: 2013
1 online resource (vii, 47 pages) : illustrations, maps.
This descriptive model for magmatic iron-titanium-oxide
(Fe-Ti-oxide) deposits hosted by Proterozoic age massif-type
anorthosite and related rock types presents their geological,
mineralogical, geochemical, and geoenvironmental attributes.
Although these Proterozoic rocks are found worldwide, the
majority of known deposits are found within exposed rocks of
the Grenville Province, stretching from southwestern United
States through eastern Canada; its extension into Norway is
termed the Rogaland Anorthosite Province.
Changing Climates, Earth Systems and Society by John Dodson (Editor)
Call Number: QC903 .C385 2010
ISBN: 9789048187157
Publication Date: 2010-09-23
Editor Dodson (Australian Nuclear Science and Technology Organisation) and 37 authors from 13 countries do a good job covering the issues. … The book covers past and future changes in terrestrial ecosystems, peatlands, polar ice, and lake and river water resources. … The material is written clearly enough for most people to comprehend, and the scientific papers and the extensive references should satisfy those with technical backgrounds.

Providence Canyon

http://gastateparks.org/info/providence/

Georgia’s “Little Grand Canyon” is a testament to the power of man’s influence on the land. Massive gullies as deep as 150 feet were caused simply by poor farming practices during the 1800s, yet today they make some of the prettiest photographs within the state.

Providence Canyon State Park is a Park in the state of Georgia (county of Stewart), located at latitude - longitude coordinates (also known as lat-long or GPS coordinates) of N 32.06571 and W -84.92076. Providence Canyon State Park is shown in the center of the topographic (topo) map, which is sourced from the United States Geographical Survey map USGS Lumpkin SW quad. The nearest major town is Louvale, GA.
