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…

@_DanielFranks 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


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…

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…

2-year #postdoc job on modelling biodiversity, mining & energy scenarios. Come work with me and other fantastic people (@martine_maron, @McMadLab, @NortheyStephen, @rkvalenta, @fineprintglobal, @pvisconbio, @wildbusiness). Details and applications here: tinyurl.com/4cchfpt5


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!

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