Almost all of the 50 states (and Puerto Rico) have an agency that deals with geological hazards and resources within its bounds. Some have more than one (e.g., one for petroleum resources, one for general geology, and one for water resources), and some have delegated the responsibilities to a unit within a state university. Most, but not all of these institutions are connected to the Internet. For all of these agencies, we've included snail mail addresses as well as known e-mail and Internet links.

• American Meteorological Society (AMS) Maury Project Peer Trainers
• The GLOBE Program
• NASA Education Resources

Maury Project Peer Trainers are Master precollege teachers trained in one of the AMS Summer training workshops held at the United States Naval Academy, Annapolis, MD, who have demonstrated an exceptional competency and commitment to the process of guiding fellow teachers in the field of precollege physical oceanographic education. These teachers conduct seminar/workshops on an on-going basis for their peers, within their respective teaching districts, using primarily single-topic teaching materials developed by AMS specifically for this purpose.
