“We are here to support the UK Governments Critical Raw Material strategy” @andrewBGS on role of CMIC https://t.co/SPm88yctT8 & Dr Pierre Josso @PJossoBGS review of UK Criticality Assessment methodology which highlighted continuing need for criticality assessment @BritGeoSurvey
You call that a drill? This is a drill! The @BritGeoSurvey RD2 taking its first dip on a test dive today. Absolutely incredible amount of experience, ingenuity, hard work and perseverance goes into getting platforms like this to operate in the deep sea. Hats off to all! #geology
Quite excited to follow live the stream of NOAA Okeanos expedition, fantastic opportunity to have a look at these rocks from the north Atlantic. Will carry on for the next 3 weeks or so.
@expeditionlog@ISBAHQ Are active vent truly a target for extraction? Unstable, spewing hot acidic fluid, immature mineral endowment... Not sure many companies consider this a safe operating environment with economic potential... So is that just a communication exercice to put active vents off limit?
The cost of lithium-ion batteries has fallen by 97% in the last 3 decades.
It doesn't look like this rate is slowing down.

Really glad @Ce4Transport selected our @BritGeoSurvey project for their 2nd round of feasibility study! We will look at the impact of manufacturing policies and battery secondary uses to map the supply gap between primary and recycled critical materials for EV battery up to 2050!
@emmahudsondoyle In addition to all the above which are great advices, Do. Smaller. Steps ! Train to increase cadence (stride per min). It will lower the effort to lift you up and energy gained will be used for longer run!
Proposal submitted to NEIF for some more Pb wiggles in deep sea minerals! Hopefully, we will follow up on our Milankovitch paper with @TimvPeer, M. Horstwood, @LustyBGS and @bramatsea!
@MelJLeng@BritGeoSurvey Stunning! Could we do some off - cuts for transplanting and propagation by any chance ? Any experience in this? Always loved mirabelle tarts and other delicacies!

@Geo_Eimear Never liked the notion of "heavy" metals, poorly defined and has nothing to do with mass /density. As @olivier_pourret said keep heavy metals for music!
