Rare earth elements (ree) are becoming increasingly important in electronic devices used in the defense, alternative energy, and communications industries Minable deposits of rees are found in only a few locations. Many advanced technologies have components made from rees such as magnets, batteries, phosphors, and catalysts These components are used in various sectors of the us economy including health care, transportation, power generation, petroleum refining, and consumer electronics. We support the geospatial component of mineral resources program research and provide public access to research results and geospatial information We facilitate all aspects of the data life cycle, including the publication and archiving of geospatial information and products.
