Vacancy in @CU_EARTH for a tutor in Environmental Chemistry and Biology - krb-sjobs.brassring.com/TGnewUI/Search…

You thought today was a flat stage? Think again! Our third highest mountain of the #tdf2023 is right here. Under the ground. Mountains of salt called salt diapirs. Jochem of @ETH_ERDW and @RecogniceNow explains #geosports #geoTDF geo-sports.org/2023/stage-4-i…

Many of the actions needed to achieve #NetZero targets by the middle of this century will place a huge demand on mineral raw materials. Achieving #ClimateChange targets won’t be possible without the global mining sector and the essential minerals it provides. #needforminerals

🌍🌿 A big shoutout to Professor Andrew Kerr @AndrewCKerr from @Cardiffuni for enlightening our Y12 students about the fascinating world of Earth and Environmental Sciences. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and igniting curiosity!  #EnvironmentalScience

This is probably the biggest challenge facing the minerals industry; getting young people to consider mining and related areas as viable career choices, or even just to consider them. Mining is more vital than ever, but people don’t realise this. mckinsey.com/industries/met…

We need to be developing a very large #copper mine every year to keep up with demand. We are developing a very large copper mine every 5 years. What’s the likely outcome?

@BritGeoSurvey @GOVUK Great to see Government recognising how the Geology & Minerals underpin Society. Please also recognise the fantastic teaching & research being done in this area in @UofGGES @SUERC1 @univofstandrews @GeosciencesEd @abdngeology @CU_Solid_Earth @GeologyLeics @SEELeeds @OceanEarthUoS

Did you know that gold plays a critical role in rapid medical diagnostic tests? Gold nanoparticles are used in billions of rapid medical diagnostic tests including the well known Covid-19 antigen tests. #DidYouKnow #EverydayMineralUses #DalradianOpportunities
