The Circum-Pacific Council for Energy and Mineral Resources, founded in 1972, is a non-profit international organization of Earth Scientists and Engineers.  The Council develops and promotes research and cooperation among industry, government and academia for the sustainable utilization of earth resources in the Pacific Region.

The Council's goals include: improving knowledge of earth resources and damaging geologic hazards in the Pacific Region; increasing collaboration among geologists, hydrologists, biologists, oceanographers and related scientists; and disseminating earth-science information through maps, publications, symposia and workshops.
