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).
The directions of true, grid and magnetic north will, for the first time, coincide at various locations in Great Britain between 2022 and 2026.
