See you all tomorrow! @KamBhowany #AMWS

New paper alert! Here’s one of my long term favourite projects- mapping contamination and indeed, opportunities for metal recovery in Tasmania’s west coast- focus on Mt Lyell and the King River Delta https://t.co/3Yo5nUmrg7 @SMI_UQ @sibele_nasc #tailings #cobalt

Coming back from the bush to find this!! How exciting to know that the long days in the field are contributing to something bigger 🤩

[Anita Parbhakar-Fox @ParbhakarFox]

#MIWATCH on the UQ landing page?! How exciting! Want to read more about the program in general then please click away! I am proud to be part of a team really causing the mining industry to think in a new way about their waste https://t.co/uExs0dSeVW @KamBhowany @MejiasOlivia

[Kam Bhowany @KamBhowany]

Ravensthorpe... You were a pleasure 😍

[Kam Bhowany @KamBhowany]

Aaaand here we go! #MIWATCH touched down in WA and couldn't be more excited than starting our first site with such a beautiful geology down in the southern part of the state 😍

@ParbhakarFox @SMI_UQ

[Kam Bhowany @KamBhowany]

Spotted today: #MIWATCH 's auger and red bag landing in WA for the first time! We cannot wait to see what your mine wastes hold!! Cannot be grateful enough for everyone who made this happen... And hey, you might also spot the one and only @ParbhakarFox at one of your sites 😉

[Kam Bhowany @KamBhowany]

@ParbhakarFox Naaaaw... funny for sure! Mentos

[Kam Bhowany @KamBhowany]

Being back in the state I got to call home for the most part of my adult life... So many fond memories of South Australia and lucky to be making many more! Thanks heaps @ParbhakarFox , @SMI_UQ and @GeoscienceAus for the opportunity you throw at me!

Finally doing some work in the state I called home for over a decade 😍 little bumps here and there but this is a special one- SA holds a very special place in my heart and so keen to see the state's progress in the secondary prospectivity space

[Anita Parbhakar-Fox @ParbhakarFox]

The amazing #MIWATCH team at a tailings site near you… if you’re in SA, QLD and next week WA! Out looking for REEs, Co and In in tailings these next weeks- in addition to others at 6 (or maybe 7 if we can!) sites across the country! Say hi if you see these guys! #criticalmetals

[Kam Bhowany @KamBhowany]

Can't wait to hear and be inspired by this amazing star! How lucky are we to have landed such a forward thinking mind for the inaugural Australian Mine Waste Symposium 😍

[Anita Parbhakar-Fox @ParbhakarFox]

New Paper Alert!

The amazing @MejiasOlivia has published her first PhD paper and it’s all things #Indium! This review paper describes indium in ore deposits and mine waste enviroments- and helps us to better understand this #criticalmetal https://t.co/OUTYeFBw78

[Kam Bhowany @KamBhowany]

This one promises to be the adventure if a lifetime! All the bags are out to head to the wild wild West...

[Kam Bhowany @KamBhowany]

@scimissionowen Yuuuup! I'm glad Sam picked this work up... what an absolute legend!

[Kam Bhowany @KamBhowany]

📣 new paper alert 📣

From my metamorphic petrologist days, I was very luck to be part of this cool experiment led by Sam Jennings: The effect of metasomatism on the electrical resistivity of the lower crust.

Full paper here:

@scimissionowen Thanks Owen- 💯
This was a beast of an experiment to set up... I started then realised no way I can be both a Geochemist and geophysicist 🤣

[Kam Bhowany @KamBhowany]

Hey friends!! Abstracts are open- please come and be part of the discussion to change our mine waste landscape... we all have a #minewastefootprint after all.

If not, please come support a friend 🤣

[Kam Bhowany @KamBhowany]

@HaideeCadd @UOW @jonathanjtyler @john_tibby @cabahCoE Congrats Haidee! Very well done and excited for you!!

[Kam Bhowany @KamBhowany]

Fun times!

[Anita Parbhakar-Fox @ParbhakarFox]

Living my best life with two of my awesome postdocs hanging someplace underground and sampling their juiciest rocks. Not a bad way to spend @Aus_ScienceWeek! MIWATCH are looking for critical metals in mine waste to support our energy transition. #superstarsofstem @ScienceAU

[Kam Bhowany @KamBhowany]

Earth scientists are time travellers? Love it! From slow to instant processes, hear Holly and Anthony go through what keeps us going in their new podcast series Wonder...

Also, laying down on rocks to take it all in. 💯 normal behaviour 🤣
