Congratulations to three of our academics who won awards at Friday's RCPS Medal Awards from the @PolyFalmouth. Dr Nick Tregenza (medallist cum laude), Dr Kate Moore and Professor Chris Bass all received medals in the category of science: bit.ly/3mTxMf1 @KateMooreCSM 👏
Despite the downsides, mining on Earth remains essential to the transition to a low-carbon energy economy... Let's look at the complex issues & work towards getting it right...

Rather than space mining, positive environmental and social outcomes on Earth are better achieved by ensuring terrestrial mining is done in the most sustainable way possible. theconversation.com/the-hype…

'information on resources in space is scarce, highly varied and uncertain... investing in the extraction of space resources is even more speculative than mining on Earth.' theconversation.com/the-hype…
'Space mining supporters often claim a bounty of space resources exist, and exploiting them would generate trillions of dollars in mining revenue, and benefit Earth and its people. But how certain are these benefits? ' theconversation.com/the-hype…
'We know the world must move to cleaner energy sources to head off the worst effects of climate change, but the technology required for the transition is very mineral-intensive. So where will all these resources come from?' theconversation.com/the-hype…

To achieve #NetZero we need to extract critical minerals as responsibly and sustainably.

I'm delighted to be on the Editorial Board for Geoenergy, supporting publication of research into critical raw materials and the cross-cutting metals necessary to the low carbon transition: geolsoc.org.uk/geoenergy youtu.be/tZsCoIFqib8 #geoenergy #decarbonisation #subsurface

Critical Minerals underpin many aspects of modern life, from mobiles phones & computers to wind turbines, fighter jets, & solar panels 💎
A secure supply is essential & our first ever national strategy will boost the industry & protect companies & jobs.
