M. Stephen Enders, giving the SEG Presidential address at the GSA session, Role of Mineral Resources for a Healthy Society, argued for domestic production of resources in the developed world on the basis of high standards of environmental and social practices, innovation and the potential to export technology thus developed, and supply-chain disruptions from non-domestic producers of many non-fuel metals and minerals. He stressed that all geoscientists have a role to play in communicating the need for and benefit of resources for a healthy society.
