Congratulations @Anoukborst very well deserved! @SosRare @HiTech_AlkCarb

[Frances Wall @FrancesWallCSM]

Many congratulations to Anouk! @SosRare @sosminerals @NERCscience

[SoS Rare @SosRare]

Great to see this work with @manenbu and @FrancesWallCSM out in Science Advances.

Don't forget about the alkalis when considering #REE mineralisation in carbonatites!

[Dr Kathryn Goodenough @kmgoodenough]

Our @SosRare @NatureComms paper led by @Anoukborst shows that #rareearths are adsorbed onto clays in Malagasy laterite, similar to Chinese ion adsorption clays. Rare earths are vital for green tech (e.g. wind turbines & electric cars), so understanding global resources is vital.

Good to see @NERCscience @sosrare published - better understanding #REE deposits helps #minerals #exploration

[Natural Environment Research Council @NERCscience]

New sources for rare earth metals vital for modern tech, including mobile phones, laptops and televisions, have been discovered by researchers at @univofstandrews and @uniofbrighton, part of the NERC and @EPSRC-funded @SosRare consortium.

New sources of rare earth metals, needed for modern tech like mobile phones, laptops and televisions, have been found by a team at @univofstandrews and @uniofbrighton in a study as part of the @NERCscience and EPSRC-funded @SosRare consortium.

Congratulations to @MinviroLtd New company from Rob's @NERCscience @sosminerals @SosRare @CambSchMines #PhD research.

[SoS Rare @SosRare]

@amg_min @Geo_Eimear @s_broom_fendley @Anoukborst Plenty of outputs from @SosRare in this issue too! @sosminerals.

[SoS Rare @SosRare]

@s_broom_fendley @MartinS_Rubble @mabadean @FrancesWallCSM Whoops. I didn't intend that the same photo uploaded for each tweet. Oh well.

[SoS Rare @SosRare]

There are several @SosRare papers in press now as part of an exciting thematic set on critical metals led by @Geo_Eimear. I've put together a quick summary of them in the thread below:

Look out for when the thematic set goes live early next year!

4) Lastly, @s_broom_fendley (and co-authors incl. @MartinS_Rubble @mabadean @FrancesWallCSM) show that S can be incorporated into monazite as both sulphate and sulphide, opening up the possibility of using monazite as a 'tracer' for S mobility.

Kicking off the @CambSchMines #Business Breakfast about the circular #economy and the #mining industry. Talks from @tevicornwall @Minviro and @RichCraneGeo

I just learned “tevi” means “grow” in #Cornish

@Anoukborst @DiamondLightSou @KITKarlsruhe Great to see this out in print! Plenty more @SosRare papers to come in this special issue too.

[Will Hutchison @WillHutchGeo]

Back home after a fun @HiTech_AlkCarb @SosRare #final #conference I've had a wonderful few years as part of this team and learned so much. Congrats to PI @FrancesWallCSM and our work package leader @kmgoodenough for such a successful project!

[HiTech AlkCarb @HiTech_AlkCarb]

@rareearthsnews from Minviro discusses how life cycle assessment using the process that he has developed will help to tackle the newly recognised risk of reducing carbon footprint in mining. #crmfuture2019 @HiTech_AlkCarb @SosRare

Without Rare Earths there will no be any technology development in the future ⁦@hallgartenco⁩ introduced 5G technology as example ⁦@HiTech_AlkCarb⁩ ⁦@SosRare⁩ which is highly dependent on Erbium
