Modern society is made possible by the use of metals, and metals have historically been supplied from virgin stocks (ore bodies, mineral deposits, and the like). Other reservoirs exist, however, a principal one being materials or products in use, stored, or discarded over the years by corporations and individuals. These reservoirs might become very important in the next few decades of rapid population growth and resource and energy use. There are also concerns about the use of energy in the extraction and processing of metals, and realization that the loss of resources by dissipation or landfilling can sometimes be problematic from an environmental standpoint, and concerns over the short and long-term “criticality” of metals. In the STAF project, we are evaluating current and historical flows of specific technologically significant materials, determining the stocks available in different types of reservoirs and the flows among the reservoirs, developing scenarios of possible futures of metal use, and assessing metal supply and demand. As of fall 2011, the group has completed work on copper, zinc, chromium, lead, iron, nickel, silver, and stainless steel, comprising complete cycle characterizations for all countries using significant amounts of these materials (more than 50), nine world regions including Europe, North America, and Asia, and the planet as a whole. Targeted studies of a few states and cities have also been accomplished. Specialized studies on tin, cobalt, tungsten, and aluminium have been done as well. These comprehensive cycles, and their interpretation and implications, are published in the scholarly literature as they are completed Website: http://cie.research.yale.edu/project_main/stocks-and-flows-project-staf Purpose for data generation is not known Center for Industrial Ecology Contact for the resource described by the metadata New Haven CT06511 USA http://cie.research.yale.edu/project_main/stocks-and-flows-project-staf WWW:LINK-1.0-http--link http://cie.research.yale.edu/project_main/stocks-and-flows-project-staf Link for further information on the resource Party that supplies the resource https://resources.bgs.ac.uk/images/minerals/micaGraphic/B3/MICA_B3-186.JPG MICA MET4TECH dataCentre Mixture of historic (up to 2005) and recent (2006 onwards) MICA ontology (TemporalScheme) 2 General descriptive information / Website / Other (Website) MICA ontology (DataScheme) 2 Requirement for data generation: Voluntary Method of data or information generation: Academic research Exports GEMET Concepts 2014-07-25 revision 2 Imports GEMET Concepts 2014-07-25 revision 2 Minerals GEMET Concepts 2014-07-25 revision 2 Other economic activities GEMET Concepts 2014-07-25 revision 2 Prices GEMET Concepts 2014-07-25 revision 2 Production GEMET Concepts 2014-07-25 revision 2 Resources GEMET Concepts 2014-07-25 revision 2 Stocks GEMET Concepts 2014-07-25 revision 2 Waste flows GEMET Concepts 2014-07-25 revision 2 Silver INSPIRE commodities Aluminium INSPIRE commodities Copper INSPIRE commodities Lead INSPIRE commodities Tin INSPIRE commodities Zinc INSPIRE commodities Chromium INSPIRE commodities Cobalt INSPIRE commodities Iron INSPIRE commodities Nickel INSPIRE commodities Tungsten INSPIRE commodities Aluminium waste Eurostat Waste categories 2017-05-17 publication Mixed metallic packaging Eurostat Waste categories 2017-05-17 publication Artificial mineral waste Eurostat Waste categories 2017-05-17 publication Available for free for all purposes Not confidential English geoscientificInformation economy World; with individual countries listed Individual item (e.g. a one-off academic paper or single website) Data uncertainty Are any uncertainty measures provided (e.g. standard errors, confidence intervals, etc.)? false Quality assurance procedures Are quality assurance procedures described? true Information generation methods Are data or information generation methods formally described? true Record review Reviewed by: British Geological Survey Record validation false Commission Regulation (EU) No 1089/2010 of 23 November 2010 implementing Directive 2007/2/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council as regards interoperability of spatial data sets and services 2010-12-08 Organisation source implies that information should be of good quality Metadata is distributed with a CC BY-ND 4.0 (Attribution-NoDerivs 4.0 International) licence
