[Avner Vengosh @AVengosh]

Today, I was honored to receive the 2025 #Geochemical Society’s Clair C. #Patterson Medal. This is a collective achievement of a large team of graduate students, postdoctoral fellows, and colleagues has contributed to the collective research that is being acknowledged today.

[Duke Environment @DukeEnvironment]

Avner Vengosh, Erika Weinthal and Ginger Sigmon are part of a team looking to establish an interdisciplinary platform for research and education of critical minerals. The project was selected as one of three new hubs funded through the provost’s office. https://t.co/zmsGWFTFg0

[Geochemical Society @geochemsoc]

Avner Vengosh, Professor of Environmental Quality at Duke will receive the 2025 Clair C. Patterson Award. Vengosh is recognized for his work evaluating the impact of conventional and nonconventional energy development on environmental geochemistry, especially of water resources.

@baicang_liu Please see the link in the previous massage I had on the paper. If you don’t see it just write me an email and I will send you a pdf copy.

In our new paper, we rule out potential occurrence of #arsenic, other regulated contaminants, and acid mine wastes from #water-rock interactions in the #lithium legacy mine but show elevated Li, Rb, and Cs in associated water.

[Avner Vengosh @AVengosh]

Sustainable #lithium mining is the key for future #green energy. Our new study @STOTEN_journal investigates the potential #water quality impacts from a legacy pegmatite-rock lithium mine in North Carolina. https://t.co/5BDtCUbEpU

@NewsDudeAP @AP We have studied liquid and solid wastes from phosphate mining and can tell that the environmental risks upon releasing these toxic wastes to the environment are really significant

[Michael Biesecker @NewsDudeAP]

Mosaic said the volume of the spill likely exceeded a 17,500-gallon (66,245-litre) minimum reporting standard, though it did not provide a figure for what the total volume might have been.

I am honored to receive the @geosociety Division of #Geology and #Health 2024 Distinguished Career Award. I am very thankful to my colleagues and graduate students over the years at @DukeEnvironment and @bengurionu.

Avner Vengosh analyzed soil samples taken near a childcare facility in Mooresville, N.C. and found concerning levels of arsenic and radium https://t.co/jUiHJHztF1

[Nate Morabito @NateMorabito]

Our tests from near Tutor Time of Mooresville are back and show what experts call unacceptably risky arsenic and radioactivity levels just below the surface. The carcinogens registered levels well above what's in the ground naturally. #buried @AVengosh
