The 15 lanthanides (or lanthanoids), [a] along with scandium and yttrium, are usually included as rare earths. We facilitate all aspects of the data life cycle, including the publication and archiving of geospatial information and products. 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. We support the geospatial component of mineral resources program research and provide public access to research results and geospatial information Many advanced technologies have components made from rees such as magnets, batteries, phosphors, and catalysts
