14 514 1. Provision of industry earth observing data and derived information, ground truth data bases, global geophysical, geochemical, geological, oceanographic, and meteorological data and information, and other supporting environmental ground truth data. 2. Provision of earth observation, data processing,and GIS expertise in addition to access to large interdisciplinary industry scientific research expertise. 3. Provision of and shared access to extensive industry research facilities and field measurement capabilities. 4. Financial support both in coordinating present and planned research activities as well as industry funded research to be linked with planned and developing CES GCRP research. 5. Support before Congress for federal funding for the GCRP and for NASA's EOS programs, in particular where such programs can be mutually beneficial to government, industry and academia through linked cooperative R&D on earth observations, global change studies, and environmental management. Finally, regarding the benefits of industry participation, the following comments are quoted from a 1989 Geosat Committee position letter by Dr, Kenneth W. Ciriacks, Vice President, AMOCO Production Company, a long term Director of the Geosat Committee, and an original author of the benefits listed above. "We <the Geosat Committee corporate members> have traditionally focused on the development of satellite imagery techniques to enhance our search for energy and mineral resources. We must now realize that we are "players" in an energy industry that produces, refines, transports, and ultimately provides for the utilization of hydrocarbons as the major energy source and a major contribution of C02, methane and other gases to this planet's atmosphere. It is directly in our shareholders' best interests that we contribute toward and participate in this kind of global study which will provide a better definition of our activities and help to create a better informed public to support the critical energy decisions our government needs make." "We need the collective money, expertise, people, and time of government, universities and industry with a strong and common commitment to provide timely and cost-effective research. We then need to report and communicate results in a cooperative format to provide our public with the best predictive models of what is happening to our environment and what the solutions and impacts of those actions will be." In another industry conclusion: "In summing up its own commitment for 'environmental principles', Reynolds Metals Co. could be speaking for many corporations: 'We believe that environmental protection and sound business management are mutually achievable objectives.'"
