GEOL 315 - Minerals, Energy and Society
Mineral resources are vital to society, and yet they are nonrenewable, expensive to find, unevenly distributed, and their extraction and consumption can be environmentally damaging. Can we make economically and environmentally sound decisions regarding land-use planning, development vs. conservation, mining vs. environmental protection, recycling vs. waste?
