Abstract

Index maps showing boundaries of the six l:10,000,000-scale regional map sheets and the l:17,000,000-scale Pacific Basin sheet.The Circum-Pacific Council promotes scientific interchanges and resource exploration through its quadrennial conferences, the Circum-Pacific Map Project, educational symposia, scientific training seminars, and publications, including the Earth Science Series. Officers and directors of the Circum-Pacific Council, of which the Circum-Pacific Map Project operates as a principal subactivity, are listed in table 3.The Circum-Pacific Map Project is currently organized under five panels of geoscientists (table 4) representing national earth-science organizations, universities and natural-resource companies. A sixth panel representing the Arctic region was being formed by General Chairman George Gryc during 1988. The panels correspond to the basic map areas (figure 1). Panel chairmen (figure 2) include Eiji Inoue (Northwest Quadrant), W.
