This was a question addressed during a workshop on geological
cartography, which took place in Kazimierz Dolny, Poland, at
the end of November. The context of the question was the relationship
of geology to land-use and water planning. Five specific recommendations
were framed by experts from 29 countries with the aim of
being able to provide government decision-makers in NATO and
Partner
countries with the geological information necessary to make
crucial water, resource and environmental decisions, and to
deal with
potential hazards such as earthquakes and landslides. The
proceedings of the workshop are in preparation, and will
be published by
Kluwer Academic Publishers in Spring in the NATO Science
Series. A summary is provided here of the Conclusions and
Recommendations from the workshop, as prepared by the editorial
board.
