About the Kentucky Geological Survey

The Kentucky Geological Survey traces its roots back to 1838, when the Kentucky legislature appropriated funds for the first government sponsored geological reconnaissance of the commonwealth. A formal geological survey was subsequently established in 1854. Since 1838, only 13 state geologists have overseen the organization. KGS became a non-teaching unit of the University of Kentucky in 1948 by an act of the Kentucky legislature, with a mandate to conduct a continuing study of the geology of Kentucky, and currently operates as a research center under the university's Vice President for Research. KGS has grown to become one of the country's top state geological surveys.

KGS has a state funded recurring budget of approximately $4M per year that is currently supplemented by more than $2M per year in external research funds. It comprises more than 50 research and support staff in three locations: a main office on the UK campus in central Lexington, the Earth Analysis Research Library on the outskirts of Lexington, and a western Kentucky office in Henderson.
