Description

Argentina formed its National Geological Mapping Committee on 22 April 1941. The committee coordinated geological surveys across provinces and standardized mapping techniques. Geologists focused on mineral reserves, fault lines, and regional soil patterns. Their work supported mining exploration and infrastructure planning. The committee’s maps helped guide national energy and resource policies. Over time, the project improved scientific collaboration between universities and research institutes. Its creation marked a significant step in organizing Argentina’s geological knowledge.
