The third Yukon Geoscience Planning Workshop document outlines priorities for government geoscience over a five-year period. Developed in 2004 by the Yukon Geological Survey with input from federal agencies and a technical committee, it addresses needs across bedrock mapping, mineral assessments, and geochemical surveys. Geoscience information supports decisions by mining, petroleum, forestry, fisheries, and tourism sectors, as well as regulators and First Nations.
