Laboratório De Geologia e Minas
Portugal
“IGME is a well-known public organization that has focused on problems
relating to general geology, mapping, economic geology, engineering geology,
geochemistry, geophysics, aspects related with raw materials and geological
resources. It is a reference of several iconic studies on economic geology and
raw materials and has been a supporting pillar of EU policy making.
State geological surveys are vitally important to the economy of a
nation. The information they collect and disseminate is inevitably used by
other government agencies, by consultants, by industry, by developers, and by
the public as critical input in local and regional economic development plans.
The information generated by the Geological surveys is essential for
the responsible and sustainable development of a country’s mineral,
energy, and water resources, safe development and modernization of
infrastructure, protecting the public from losses due to geologic and natural
hazards or anthropogenic hazards, and the wise use of natural resources for
tourism and recreation. All of these are significant to the economy by
providing jobs and generating revenue, preventing or minimizing loss due to
hazards and natural disasters, and by increasing our understanding of the
earth’s resources and the need for sustainable use.
It is a great pity that the short sightedness of governing bodies fails
to see that this type of public organization is essential and there to benefit
society as a whole.”
With best wishes,
Daniel P. S. de Oliveira
