She has an MS in soil science and a B S in geology and environmental science. She has 18 years of experience in the areas of natural resources and environmental policy\, including a va riety of technical and regulatory positions with the U.S. Department of A griculture's Natural Resources Conservation Service\, the Minnesota Board of Soil and Water Resources\, along with expertise within the Missouri D epartment of Natural Resources.\n\n\nCritical Mineral Resources and Misso uri will talk about the advancement in technology that has led to the cre ation of new material applications\, the increased technical performance\ , durability and reliability of products\, and improved environmental and energy efficiency. However\, many of the technologies require minerals t hat are not currently produced in the United States and are considered "c ritical and strategic." The U.S. imports the most critical commodities. S pecifically\, the U.S. is import-reliant (imports are greater than 50 per cent of annual consumption) for 31 of the 35 minerals designated as criti cal by the Department of the Interior. Import dependence can lead to stra tegic vulnerability in both the economic and defense sectors.\n\n\nMissou ri has a long history of mineral production that includes significant dep osits of iron oxide-copper-gold\, which are found in the Southeast Missou ri Lead District. These deposits are major sources of iron\, lead\, zinc\ , copper and silver. They contain resources of cobalt\, nickel and hereto fore unmined\, rare earth elements. Missouri has potentially significant quantities of critical and strategic minerals\, but knowledge of the geol ogic structure and Precambrian bedrock must be improved to fully understa nd the volume and extent of critical mineral resources in the deep subsur face.\n\n\nThe Earth Mapping Resources Initiative (Earth MRI) is a partne rship among the U.S. Geological Survey\, the State Geological Surveys and other federal\, state and private-sector organizations with the goal of improving our knowledge of the geologic framework in the United States an d identifying areas that have the potential to contain undiscovered criti cal mineral resources.
