The energy-critical metals: technologies with a human face
(The Geological Society, 2024) -
Mining of primary raw materials as the critical foundation of ‘sustainable’ metals: a wicked problem for technology innovation clusters
(The Royal Society, 2024)A transition to a more sustainable human-nature system is inextricably linked to raw materials production, if economic growth is to be maintained or increased by the emergence of new, energy- and metal-hungry technology ... -
Compound criticality of bauxite production: implications for sustainability and trade neo-colonialism
(Geological Society of London, 29 May 2024)We describe bauxite as having compound criticality. 1, it is a critical raw material (CRM) from which alumina and thereby aluminium are produced, and aluminium has the highest production levels of all metals deemed significant ... -
South Georgia marine productivity over the past 15 ka and implications for glacial evolution
(Copernicus Publications, 18 June 2024)The subantarctic islands of South Georgia are located in the Southern Ocean, and they may be sensitive to future climate warming. However, due to a lack of well-dated subantarctic palaeoclimate archives, there is still ... -
Oceanic Anoxic Event 2 triggered by Kerguelen volcanism
(Nature Research, 15 June 2024)Large Igneous Provinces (LIPs) are associated with global warming and carbon cycle perturbations during Oceanic Anoxic Event 2 (OAE2, ~94 Ma) and the Mid-Cenomanian Event (MCE, ~96.5 Ma). However, there is still no consensus ...
