This #InternationalWomensDay, we celebrate the amazing women in #MineralExploration and #Mining who have helped the industry become what it is today. We proudly share that PDAC has a Board of Directors that includes the most women in our history: pdac.ca/about-pdac/boa… #PDAC2023

"We don't have enough lithium to move to electric vehicles" is something I hear a lot. But is it true? No. I look at this question in my latest Substack. TLDR: Yes we have enough in the long term. But need to rapidly scale up production capacity now. hannahritchie.substack.com/p/lithium-elec…

Our last lunshtime talk of the year will be given by Mbili Tshiningayamwe on the 8th of December at 1 pm Dublin time. Mbili is going to talk about carbonatites in Namibia😊 #carbonatites #SrNdisotopes #geochemistry @SocietyEconGeol @iCRAGcentre @UCD_Earth_Sci @IGI_PGeo @iaeg_ie

We all have a part to play in ending Parachute Science. Thanks @Thompson_AJB for a great chat and @TMBelgrano @OreDepositsHub for contributing to this important topic

@mcnamadd I found this open access guide quite useful for reference: researchgate.net/publication/33… This is also this open access ebook, which covers many of the basics of petrographic microscopy (but it does not reflected light specifically): minsocam.org/msa/OpenAccess…

Where are all the Antarctic/Arctic explorers and scientists on here? I’m curious how many of you have gotten and/or have polar fever?

The most undervalued skill of our time is the ability to write. In an analog world, talking was the main currency of communication and connection. In a digital world, there's a growing premium on the capacity to convey thoughts in text. The pen is mightier than the spoken word.

Plenary lectures from @goldschmidt2022 are now available for everyone to view! You can see me talking about Critical Raw Materials for the Energy Transition at youtube.com/watch?v=2HFq7Z…

Excited to see this published! Check out our new paper on metasomatic haloes around #lithium pegmatites.

Looking for locally based staff to join Hive! Permanent positions. Given my other announcement this morning, this could turn into something really awesome for the right people! #recruiting #geologists

Join us tomorrow to hear form our chapter's academic advisor and iCRAG director Prof. Murray Hitzman @UCD_Earth_Sci @iCRAGcentre @uccBEES @EOS_NUIG @SocietyEconGeol

@georose11 Congratulations!

@kmgoodenough Congratulations, Kathryn!

I'm delighted to say I have been successful in gaining a UKRI Individual Merit Promotion #IMP3 - the first woman in BGS to achieve this since Jane Plant, 40 years ago. I've had huge support from so many people along the way, thankyou so much to all my amazing colleagues!

Different sectors of the minerals community need to work seamlessly if we are to deliver the minerals necessary for the energy transition. ⁦ @Naantu10⁩ and I will be chairing a joint ⁦@OreDepositsHub⁩ ⁦@SGA_Geo⁩ session next Tuesday, come along – get involved!

Please join us for our next zoom lunchtime talk tomorrow at 1pm GMT/UTC @georose11 of the University of Leicester / Responsible Raw Materials / Satarla will present ‘Mining, ESG, and Responsible Raw Materials: the role of a geologist in a changing world’

A year ago Vox asked me to write their year-end feature on the nature of time, the universe and how the pandemic has altered our perception of the passing days. As we enter our third year of this, I’m sharing again because where did 2021 go? vox.com/the-highlight/…

What does ore body knowledge do for mining? #DiscoverytoRecovery Episode 22 features cutting edge computer vision analysis, operational sensor technology to sort ore from waste at the mine face, and finding the hidden resources in mine waste. segweb.org/podcast #SEG100

Are exploration & production of critical metals at the forefront of your mind as COP26 comes to a close? They should be(!) but where are metals like Ge, Ga and In hosted in earth's crust? Find out with Lingli Zhou (@iCRAGcentre, @UCD_Earth_Sci, @ucddublin) Nov 17, 17:00 GMT!

#EnergyDay at #COP26 has been all about moving from coal to clean power - and this can't happen without geological solutions! Recycling alone cannot provide all the raw materials we will need for the #EnergyTransition - and @nick_j_gardiner thinks it we need to talk about it 🗣️
