OF-285 Surface Geology of Jackson County, Mississippi
The purpose of this study and present report is to update the geologic map of Jackson County to reflect the earlier findings of Marble, et al and Stewart, et al and to provide a better understanding of the relationship between the surface geology and shallow sub-surface geology. This work aided the study of ground water resources in Jackson County, and a companion report has been published on this subject Ground Water Resources of Jackson County, Open File Report 286.

OF-292 Mississippi Digital Earth Model (MDEM), Definition and Standards
The purpose of this Open-File Report No. 292 is to compile into one easily accessible document, the original 2003 legislation which created the Mississippi Coordinating Council for Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems, and the documents that in 2004 laid out the "Definition and Standards" for the Mississippi Digitial earth Model (MDEM). The "Standards" were adopted by the Council in December, 2004.
