.@chetan_nathwani and colleagues find a link between the world’s largest copper resources and magmas with very high-water contents using titanium concentrations in zircon crystals. @ETH_ERDW @OxUniEarthSci @NHM_Science @ESEImperial nature.com/articles/s4146…

Mountains, magma and mineral ores - NHM scientists look at how tectonic plates create essential earth resources in South America @SimonJELarge @chetan_nathwani, Jamie Wilkinson @jwilki1212 & al. @FAMOS_ores doi.org/10.1093/petrol…

13 Jan 2022 @ 18.00 hrs a virtual meeting, Richard Herrington from The Natural History Museum @NHM_London will be presenting "Critical metals in a circular economy". All welcome, FREE TO ATTEND, registration and joining details will be at: minsouth.org.uk/event/minsouth…

Modern (smaller-scale) analogues of Carlin-type gold deposits in Europe? Great food for thought by Dick Sillitoe and Andrea Brogi. doi.org/10.5382/econge…

Really interesting new pre-print on the magma volumes and injection rates into the upper crust required for porphyry deposit formation. @FAMOS_ores

Applications are open for an exciting 2-year, BHP-funded postdoctoral position working in the LODE research group @NHM_London researching high grade hypogene porphyry mineralisation, including fieldwork at Escondida. For further details see: careers.nhm.ac.uk/templates/CIPH…

Today I learned to worry more about my k-index than my h-index... The Kardashian index measures "the discrepancy between a scientist's social media profile and publication record." Mine is reassuringly low at 1.42. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kardashia…

Introducing pyVOLCANS, a new tool from @BGSvolcanology to do VOLCano ANalog Searches. Pass it a volcano name and it returns the most similar volcanoes based on tectonic setting, rock geochemistry, volcano morphology, eruption size and eruption style. github.com/BritishGeologi…

Happy that our work on the magmatic system sourcing the Bingham Canyon porphyry deposit is now available in EPSL! Cooling and crystallisation appear to be dominant drivers of protracted magma evolution and ore formation. #openaccess #zircons #magma doi.org/10.1016/j.epsl…

Good to see this discussion getting into the public domain more (finally!). wsj.com/graphics/are-e…

Amazing! This overtook cricket on Channel4 as the best viewing of the year... 🌋 ruv.is/frett/2021/03/…

Delighted to confirm @marieedmonds as the keynote speaker and @CyrilChelleM as the invited speaker for our session at this year's hybrid @goldschmidt2021 in Lyon. You have until midnight tomorrow to submit an abstract! #arcmagmatism #volcano #porphyry 2021.goldschmidt.info/goldschmidt/20…

We have a session on arc magmatism lined up for the hybrid Goldschmidt conference 2021. Looking for a diverse range of contributions! "The fate of volatiles and metals in arc magmas: volcanic eruptions, plutons and ore deposits" Abstract deadline: 26.02 2021.goldschmidt.info/goldschmidt/20…

The journey to Germany's most beautiful geotopes begins! #30Geotope As first geotope we present the Devil´s Table in Rhineland-Palatinate (Triassic, Buntsandstein). A detailed description, further impressions & the 3D model can be accessed here digitalgeology.de. @DGGV_de

Cool. And of course well done Tom and other co-authors! 🏔️🌊🤠🧑‍🔬🧪 🪙

New OA paper on work led by @chetan_nathwani out in CMP. New insights into the plumbing system of porphyry Cu magmas. WR and zircon data identify different stages of magma evolution. +as a bonus insights into what is driving the zircon Eu anomaly. rdcu.be/ceziW

For German speaking folks: The Frankesche Stiftung Halle has an insightful online exhibition on the history of Geosciences. A great example of how to move museum exhibitions online... #agricola #neptunism francke-halle.de/de/imsteinbruc…

For #ThinSectionThursday a retweet from @ORE_bit. Cu-Au mineralisation from Bingham. Also as a teaser for next week's @OreDepositsHub talk that will touch on the controls of porphyry formation at Bingham.

Thanks @OreDepositsHub for giving Chris, Yannick and me the opportunity to talk about what high-precision petrochronology can tell us about porphyry ore formation! Hourglass with flowing sandHourglassVolcano @ETH_ERDW @NHM_Science @FAMOS_ores ⌛️⏳🌋🔷🟡
