Check out the latest edition with a contribution from the MIWATCH team! Sustainable Minerals Institute (SMI), UQ #mining #geology

Thank you to our partners, collaborators and supporters for helping make 2022 a fantastic and productive year for SMI! We look forward to working with you in 2023 and wish you a safe and happy holiday season.

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

Metals mined for renewable energy will dramatically increase mining wastes. Miners could reduce this waste. If they really wanted to. 🧵

#UQ Sustainable Minerals Institute researchers are helping to unlock the benefits of hyperspectral imaging for the mining industry through a new EU-funded project, the 'm4mining' project. Find out more ⬇️ smi.uq.edu.au/article/2023/0…

Welcome Rosie!

Having cycled into work all except two days of the past 6 months, I think we can do this. Then again, I don’t have to do any school drop offs or pickups!

2-year #postdoc job on modelling biodiversity, mining & energy scenarios. Come work with me and other fantastic people (Martine Maron, McMadLab, Stephen Northey, Richard Valenta, fineprint, Piero Visconti, Joe W Bull). Details and applications here: tinyurl.com/4cchfpt5

Did you know SMI is compiling an atlas of geological information & models covering NE Queensland’s major mineral deposits? The atlas aims to improve explorers’ abilities to recognise signatures & haloes of major deposits. Access atlas Ch.'s & 3D models: smi.uq.edu.au/brc/total-depo…

Cycling to and from work has actually become one of the highlights of my day! Granted I am lucky enough to have a pretty short commute (4-8) km depending on campus… Cycling, the better mode of transport unep.org/news-and-stori…

Daniel Franks will be co-chairing a special #symposium on Sustainable Construction Materials at the World Mining Congress 2023, with sessions addressing #sand & #sustainability, #lowcarbon concrete & #circulareconomy for #tailings reduction More info: wmc2023.org/registration

Iron and steelmaking produce roughly 8% of the world’s #carbon emissions but the JKMRC's High Temperature Processing Program aims to change that with a new 'hybrid' smelting process that is significantly less carbon-intensive. Read the article here: smi.uq.edu.au/article/2023/0…

The amazing Dr Ma! 👇🏽👇🏽

SMI Development Minerals Program Leader Daniel Franks launched todays #WMC2023 Symposium on Sustainable Construction Materials this morning in #Brisbane UQ News

Abstract submissions are now open for the Australian Mine Waste Symposium! The Symposium will provide a platform for sharing expertise on managing mine waste in Australia - join the conversation by submitting an abstract at bit.ly/45TRdF4 Anita Parbhakar-Fox Kam Bhowany

New Paper Alert! The amazing Olivia Mejías González 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 doi.org/10.1016/j.gexp…
