Great news, and good luck Corinna. It's a fantastic role to have and never a dull moment!

Representing @BritGeoSurvey here @MiningIndaba, come and see us on the UK stand G26

Nuclear power currently provides 15% of the UK’s electricity, but most existing power stations are set to close by 2030. Our latest POSTnote looks at plans for new nuclear power stations, and how nuclear might contribute to emission reduction targets: post.parliament.uk/research-brief…

Heavy traffic on South Georgia today, we advise allowing extra time for your journey and looking into alternative routes where possible 🐧

Come and work for us as a Minerals Commodity Analyst researching global and UK minerals, and metals markets. This is an exciting opportunity to take a key role in the new UK Critical Minerals Intelligence Centre bgs.ac.uk/download/vacan…

Download the CMIC Battery Minerals Report, which introduces #lithium-ion batteries (LIBs), their key components, and considers the key drivers for developing a domestic LIB manufacturing sector, including the importance of the automotive sector. ow.ly/vtxS50K9R2b

Delighted to host Industry Minister @Lee4NED & Ruth Edwards MP today for the official launch of the Critical Minerals Intelligence Centre at our headquarters in Keyworth. bgs.ac.uk/news/uks-first…

Critical raw materials are essential in the move to #NetZero. Here, @AndrewBGS outlines what they are, where they're found & their role in a greener future 🎧 Spotify: ow.ly/gy3d50FmCJ8 🎧 Apple: ow.ly/vaNP50FmCKp 🎧 Google: ow.ly/UOzx50FmCMF #NetZeroWeek

The BGS minerals yearbook 2021 is available online. The research provides decision makers with reliable, up-to-date information on the UK’s minerals industry and quantifies its impact on the economy. bgs.ac.uk/news/uk-minera… #NetZeroWeek

Proud of @BritGeoSurvey for installing #ASHP in 2022 to decarbonise and comfortably heat to our map store buildings. @k_hanghoj @AndrewBGS #NetZero @NERCscience @cabinetofficeuk @HolgerHke need more of this! GSHP next...

A secure supply of minerals and metals is vital for the UK economy. Published today is the latest UK Minerals Yearbook from BGS www2.bgs.ac.uk/mineralsuk/dow… full of fascinating facts and figures on domestic UK production + our international trade in these important raw materials

The USGS has released a new list of 50 mineral commodities critical to the U.S. economy and national security after an extensive multi-agency assessment. The list reflects America’s vulnerability to #criticalminerals supply chain disruptions. #minerals ow.ly/S5tm50I1x9f

Join us on 16 & 17 of March for the #MineWaterEnergy2022 symposium, for discussions on mine water usage, geothermal energy potential and the latest sector developments. View the programme here: ow.ly/U1Jy50HYP6U @IEA @CoalAuthority @beisgovuk

Very happy that my work with the POST team has been published today. Mining is a vital industry, and the energy transition will mean we need more metals in the future. This report outline the environmental and social impacts of our resource consumption. How can we do better?

A coronal hole is expected to enhance geomagnetic activity to STORM levels, increasing chances of seeing the aurora in Scotland, Northern Ireland and the north of England (if you are lucky to have clear sky, low light pollution and a good pair of thermals).
