3rd British-Finnish Natural Resources Initiative @GTK_FI. @LustyBGS presenting @BritGeoSurvey critical raw materials research for decarbonisation: minerals intelligence, #circulareconomy #batteryminerals, @BritGeoGlobal work of @Rashaw_Rocks @EPetavratzi @kmgoodenough @CliveBGS

Interesting new paper by @SWgeoscience et al. providing new insights into Ireland's geothermal energy potential, based on integrated modelling of a range of geoscience datasets

Chris Rochelle presenting on the @BritGeoSurvey metal leaching experiments for combined heat power metal production #decarbonisation at the @chpm2030 final consortium meeting, Miskolc-Lillafured, Hungary

Hannah Grant from ⁦@BritGeoSurvey⁩ presents on the the potential for by-product critical metal recovery from seafloor massive sulfide deposits in the TAG hydrothermal field

A great talk at the 3rd International Critical Metals Conference from @kmgoodenough emphasising the vital role of metals in decarbonisation and the importance of understanding geodynamic setting and weathering environments in critical metals exploration @BritGeoSurvey

Stefan Horn BGS-hosted PhD student presents on Europe’s cobalt resource potential in a session chaired by Evi Petavratzi and Gus Gunn at the 3rd International Critical Metals Meeting @BritGeoSurvey #decarbonisation

Presenting today on “The global decarbonisation challenge: Implications for raw material demand and the mining sector” #decarbonisation, in the Exploration & Mining session at @Omanmining, the Middle East’s biggest mining exhibition @BritGeoSurvey

GWatt project field trip led by @Shailyband who took us to some excellent localities on the Cornish coast @BritGeoSurvey @chpm2030: finished with a major cross-course near Perranporth, N. Cornwall

GWatt funded by @NERCscience field trip on Carn Brea Granite with @SWgeoscience and @Shailyband @BritGeoSurvey @uniteddownsgeo @chpm2030

GWatt project: funded by @NERCscience kick off meeting visit to United Downs Deep Geothermal Power Project with @SWgeoscience and @Shailyband @BritGeoSurvey @uniteddownsgeo @chpm2030

#MarineETech team are preparing for the final HyBIS dive on the Rio Grande Rise before we leave for Santos tonight. The dredging is providing some great samples with complicated growth histories and interesting textures @bramatsea @BritGeoSurvey @sosminerals #DY094

In addition to the fantastic geology we are also seeing a lot of marine life, from coral gardens and sponges to grumpy fish. @bramatsea @BritGeoSurvey @sosminerals #DY094 #MarineETech marinee-tech.blogspot.com

Latest HyBIS dive with @bramatsea discovers extensive, but generally highly eroded, Fe-Mn crust pavements on the Rio Grande Rise @BritGeoSurvey, @sosminerals, #DY094, #MarineETech, marinee-tech.blogspot.com

The #RSSDiscovery crew and AUV team did a great job of recovering Autosub6000 this morning in the challenging conditions of a F7 sea. Now safely onboard the data download can commence. @bramatsea @sosminerals, #MarineETech, marinee-tech.blogspot.com

DY094s last dredge returned this dense, Fe-rich, chimney-like sample. Intriging as no hydrothermal actvity is reported from Rio Grande Rise, but the structure and concentric layering are reminicent of a vent chimney, any thoughts? @bramatsea @BritGeoSurvey @NOCnews @sosminerals

#RRSDiscovery dredging on the Rio Grande Rise with @bramatsea has been productive (we have lost 1 dredge, but have 2 remaining), collecting some nice crusts samples up to ~7cm thick. Great textures in the Fe-Mn. @BritGeoSurvey @NOCnews @sosminerals
