Users in energy and mineral resources deal with the harvesting of energy from renewable resources and extractive industries including oil and gas and raw materials. EO information helps them in exploring potential locations to build new mines or power plants, in identifying risks from infrastructure and in managing the environmental impact of their operations. Uses that apply to the extractive industries: a study of landforms, structures, and the subsurface, to understand physical processes creating and modifying the Earth's crust.
