A thoughtful piece from UQ colleagues: Russia and Ukraine are important to the renewables transition. Here's what that means for the climate theconversation.com/russia-and-ukr… via The Conversation - Australia + New Zealand

Our introduction to the special issue on Complex Orebodies and Future Metal Supply is out! The article is open-access until May 20th via this link: authors.elsevier.com/a/1eqmk14YFx41… Deanna Kemp Richard Valenta John R. Owen

Article on the necessity of mining, with quotes from Eléonore Lèbre of the Sustainable Minerals Institute (SMI), UQ. There is no net zero future without mining - our job is to make it sustainable! bbc.com/future/article…

Our newly published paper led by Jo-Anne Everingham identifies global #mining regions in #transition. We analysed their ability to adapt to closure given the regional assets and the complexities of declining mining. authors.elsevier.com/c/1fg0~,oMyQRd… Eléonore Lèbre John R.

54% of projects extracting clean energy minerals overlap with Indigenous lands, research reveals theconversation.com/54-of-projects… via The Conversation - Australia + New Zealand

#Energytransition minerals are essential to tackling #climatechange. But #FirstNations people must have a genuine say in where and how this happens. Deanna Kemp, John R. Owen and Kado Muir write for the The Conversation - Australia + New Zealand. UQ News theconversation.com/54-of-projects…

A paper has been published on NatureSustainability on the impact of increased #mining of #energytransition metals located on lands of #IndigenousPeoples, by John R. Owen, Deanna Kemp, Alex Lechner, Jill Harris, Ruilian Zhang & Eléonore Lèbre See the study ⬇️ nature.com/articles/s4189…

Where will #decarbonisation drive population disruption? What kinds of demographic changes are likely as we transition out of #coal and ramp up extraction of #critical minerals? We analyse these questions in a new ‘Nature Communications’ piece just out! bit.ly/3FC5oU2

New paper alert! Led by Richard Valenta and Eléonore Lèbre our paper examines options for reducing mine waste volumes as we mine for energy transition metals sciencedirect.com/science/articl… #decarbonisation #criticalmetals #waronminewaste #mining #geology

An estimated 2,000 billion tonnes of waste to be generated by the mining sector over 2020-2050. Read our paper for why this matters and how we can tackle this challenge: authors.elsevier.com/a/1gPOR3HVLKoh… Sustainable Minerals Institute (SMI), UQ Richard Valenta #mining #wastemanagement

The Global Reporting Initiative (GRI), an international independent organization for impact reporting across sectors has proposed a new sustainability reporting standard for mining companies. mining.com/gri-presents-s…

"Gold mining is one of the world’s most destructive and unnecessary industries. Drawing down this industry stands out as a relatively easy way to reduce humanity’s footprint on a fragile planet." A great article by Stephen Lezak theconversation.com/gold-mining-is…

Have you heard of the Implicit Association Test? Built by psychologists in the late 90s, it measures our hidden biases. Tests like these offer a window into our own minds, and not everyone likes what they see. (1/2) You can take the tests here: implicit.harvard.edu/implicit/

Absolutely excellent podcast episodes on unconscious biases. Everyone needs to know about this.

This is probably the biggest challenge facing the minerals industry; getting young people to consider mining and related areas as viable career choices, or even just to consider them. Mining is more vital than ever, but people don’t realise this. mckinsey.com/industries/met…

On 28 Sept, we’ll host the first ever International Energy Agency Critical Minerals & Clean Energy Summit It’ll bring together governments, industry, investors & other stakeholders to address how to ensure secure & sustainable supplies of the minerals critical to clean energy transitions worldwide ⬇️
