Students can investigate which regions have the potential of being a suitable habitat for exotic aquatics. The new availability of Alaskan oil on the world market will open the doors for more ANS introduction via ballast water from ports of northeast Asia and elsewhere in the world. Of considerable concern is the transmission of fish pathogens and parasites from foreign ports, which could have a devastating impact on Alaskan fisheries (

Adobe Acrobat (the PDF file viewer) can be downloaded by clicking the button below. Index of Subjects Mineral Resources Geologic Mapping Water Availability Water Quality ... Earth Science Information Centers Mineral Resources Economic growth and development in Minnesota depend, in part, on the availability of local sources of minerals for use in industry and manufacturing and for maintaining and upgrading transportation networks. Raw materials, such as sand and gravel, are needed by State agencies and private industrial and construction firms to construct roads and buildings. To ensure continued growth and development of industry, new sources of construction materials and other mineral resources must be identified because existing supplies are limited and because land-use constraints rule out exploitation of some geologic resources. Minnesota not only contains identified resources of iron, copper, and nickel, the State also has potential for developing gold, zinc, platinum, and other minerals of local, national, and global importance. Extraction and processing of these mineral resources could form the basis for enhanced local and regional economies. The USGS is developing an integrated digital geologic, geochemical, geophysical, and mineral-resource database and assessment of undiscovered mineral resources in the State. This database can be used to address regional land use, environmental, and mineral-resource issues. A recent product, prepared in cooperation with the Minnesota Geological Survey, is the digital geologic bedrock map for Minnesota, Wisconsin, and Michigan. Maps and reports in digital and paper form assist Federal, State, and local land-management agencies to ensure adequate supplies of minerals at low cost and to promote sound management of the region's substantial mineral resources.
