In 2003-2004, oversaw the production, with R. Lisichenko, FHSU Department of Geosciences, of Nebraska geology maps at 1:24,000 in 2002-2004. Fieldwork was done by others and raw data supplied to us for processing in ArcGIS. Maps were published as open-file reports with the Nebraska Conservation and Survey Division.

In 2001, oversaw the production, with J. Heinrichs, FHSU Department of Geosciences, of 51 maps of Colorado geology (1:24,000) for the United States Department of Agriculture Forest Service. Maps were the result of fieldwork I led and a review of soils, topography, and other similar data. Maps were produced as GIS data files in ArcGIS.
