U.S. Geological Survey Energy and Minerals Science Strategy

The U.S. Geological Survey Energy and Minerals Science Strategy is a national sectoral strategy of the United States of America. Its main vision is to provide impartial science and information for understanding the occurrence and distribution of national and global energy and mineral resources that may contribute to supplies; the potential environmental and socioeconomic effects associated with resource occurrence and use; and the global supply and flow of nonfuel mineral commodities.
More specifically, the Strategy aims to understand fundamental earth processes that form energy and mineral resources; understand the environmental behavior of energy and mineral resources and their waste products; provide inventories and assessments of energy and mineral resources; understand the effects of energy and mineral development on natural resources and society; and understand the reliability and availability of energy and mineral supplies.
