Abstract
Earth Resources Data: A Basis for Resource Analysis and Decision-Making
Abstract
Many discussions of earth resources and alternative land use focus on perceived resource needs rather than useful information. Earth resources are not just minerals and fossil energy. They also include forestry, agriculture, fishing, and all other activities that extract value from the earth. These resources are the fundamental basis of wealth, and without their harvest, society would founder. Per capita consumption rates for earth resources in the United States are stabilizing, but population increases continue to place demands for more earth materials. Many people have requested wider distribution of information and knowledge of resource data sources. These data may be useful to other geologists for analysis of resource availability and future needs.
