#PhD#Geology#mining
For anyone interested in working on historic mines, we just got an EU grant to look at the potential of mine waste as a source of desperately needed 'Green' metals, and the environmental implications of leaving this waste be.
Looking to hire a PhD this year yet, strong petrology and analytical chem background needed, preferably some knowledge of metallurgy. German is a ++ as community outreach is important to us.
Reach out if interested. Advert coming soon..
#Environmental campaigners have filed a #lawsuit at an #Oslo court challenging #Norway's plan for #seabed mineral exploration, citing insufficient impact assessment of the #mining, the World Wide Fund for #Nature#WWF and its lawyer said on Friday.
Norway's parliament in January approved a proposal to open a vast ocean area larger than Britain for seabed mineral exploration after a government-commissioned study concluded that its impact would be minimal.
The push is being led by the #InvestmentMinister, Bahlil Lahadalia, who faces allegations of self-dealing & #corruption in the revocation & reissuance of #MiningPermits, according to reporting by #InvestigativeNews outlet Tempo. The proposed handouts are more of the same, critics say: payback to religious orgs for their support of President Joko Widodo’s preferred candidate in February’s election.
FYI - Widodo recently met with Elon Musk to talk business. Musk wants to build battery plant in Indonesia & more. Widodo will sell out #Indonesians - keep aware of developments concerning Musk's exploitive interests - across #SouthEastAsia.
Far more mining is required. We've known this for years, but BEV fanatics have ignored evidence like this repeatedly. Reality will eventually catch up to the lies.
Visit to the Adventure Mine, Keweenaw peninsula #Michigan, USA. 1.1 billion year old basalt flows that carry pure #copper. We experienced an underground blast from a safe distance around the corner! #geology#mining
@doktrock Highland Copper is poised to begin their "Copperwood Project", a major copper mining project in the upper-western peninsula.
