@EricHolthaus I had a quaternary prof that essentially taught us where not to build your house. A lesson I will never forget.

The Deep-Sea Round-Up is here! Many new papers inc hotly debated Sala et al. & review of turbidity flows on #deepsea benthic communities. As ever, plenty to read! PLUS an early bird invitation to an upcoming DOSI #ClimateChange webinar. Don't miss it! https://t.co/hJYCgOOjCq

Data for Waves 1-3 of the Swiss Environmental Panel is now publicly available. It shows how how the Swiss population perceives environmental quality and what opinions it has on environment-​related issues and policies.

@What2doWithTHAT I wanted to be a geologist as a kid. I did that and started working in mining and exploration only to see the social issues and mass earth movements destroying such beauty. I am logical and know mining is necessary but I also know it can be done better. That’s my PhD goal.

Very interesting community development agreement (CDA) reached in Canada's Nunavut territory. Baffinland Iron Mines to pay penalties if they do not meet local hiring and #procurement targets; Qikiqtani Inuit Association to hold $10M bond to draw fines from https://t.co/30odBqN3p8

An insightful study by @istp_eth member @rach_garr and colleagues evaluated the impact of zero #deforestation #commitments focusing on the Brazilian #soy sector. They identified several weaknesses that must be addressed in the future.

Are you working on a research project in the #microbialecology field that would be of interest to our journal? #CallforPapers

The @OreDepositsHub is a fantastic platform for mining & minerals talks & discussions, so I was very pleased yesterday to give a talk on our @BritGeoSurvey work in collaboration with @WitsGeos on #Lithium pegmatites in Africa - if you missed it, it's on https://t.co/dW2ODyUurc

Technology is one of many ways to reduce our consumption of raw materials. Supporting the work towards more responsible mining and supply chains

Interesting outlook of future implications in mining supply chain due to Covid-19

@Bhp tread lightly. This is the type of public outcry that will put you on the map as a leader for promoting society and culture or as another mining company with no regard or respect to indigenous heritage or archaeological significance. Review, revise, compromise, communicate!
