Title: Geology--For Human Needs: ABSTRACT

Author(s): Michel T. Halbouty

Article Type: Meeting abstract

Abstract:

There is no factor vital to the human race into which geology does not explore or participate in some manner, however remote, and, whether the public is aware of it or not, it is true that our science of geology is among the most important in the future welfare of the world's peoples. Based on this premise, the writer briefly reviews the history of the science of geology, cites examples of items of human needs attributable to geology, and discusses why the science of geology is being called on now, more than ever before, to meet new challenges to participate in projects to help meet the ever-growing needs of mankind.
