The American Geosciences Institute (AGI) received a great response to their recent Tracking the Global Supply of Critical Materials webinar which was co-sponsored by AIG. A total of 754 registrants and 400 live attendees from 48 countries participated in the event. Recordings of the talks and Q&A session, along with copies of the speakers’ slides and
A new study points to groundwater depletion being a major source of carbon dioxide emissions, with estimates that U.S. groundwater depletion could be responsible for releasing 1.7 million tonnes of carbon dioxide to the atmosphere every year. Humans may be adding large amounts of carbon dioxide to the atmosphere by using groundwater faster than it
Geophysics for the Mineral Exploration Geoscientist Date: 11-13 December 2017 Venue: Tawarri Reception Centre, Dalkeith WA Presenter : Mike Dentith This innovative training course uses applied learning techniques and real-world mineral exploration scenarios to train participants in the key principles of interpreting geophysical data sets, without the need for complex mathematics and physics. This course teaches
The legislation introducing the new Junior Minerals Exploration Incentive (JMEI) has been introduced into Federal Parliament this week – Treasury Laws Amendment (Junior Minerals Exploration Incentive) Bill 2017 The Bill amends the tax law to replace the former Exploration Development Incentive (EDI) with the JMEI.

The Economic Geology Research Centre (EGRU) at James Cook University (JCU), Townsville has on offer two fully funded PhD projects researching magma fertility linked to a range of deposit types in the Mount Isa region of NW Queensland. These projects are part of a larger research effort funded by the Queensland government through the Geological
Long-term forecast of Australia’s mineral production and revenue The outlook for gold: 2017-2057 Report by MinEx Consulting: October 2017 Under the combined support and sponsorship of six government agencies (both State and Federal), three research organisations and three industry groups, including AIG, a landmark report has been published by MinEx Consulting looking at the forty-year
Last chance to register for the 2017 NCGRT IAH Distinguished Lecture presented by Dr Glen Walker Climate Change and Australian Groundwater: Current State of Knowledge and Future Responses The climate shift in south-western Western Australia and the Millennium Drought has highlighted the need to better understand how water resources will be affected by changing climate across Australia.
The Australian Geoscience Council Convention (AGCC2018) will highlight the fundamental role that Geoscience has as a major field of science throughout the Asia Pacific Region. The Convention (AGCC 2018) will be the largest Geoscience event to be held in Australasia since 2012, with delegates from all branches of Geoscience plus experts in mining, energy, engineering, environment
This question was the subject of a topical, joint GSA-AIG-AusIMM technical talk in Brisbane during July. The meeting focussed on the situation in Queensland but many of the issues and ideas have national relevance. Any geoscientist working in mineral exploration in Australia over the past few years will tell you that the sector has been doing it
Kaylene Camuti Member, INTRAW Panel of Experts The INTRAW project was launched in early 2015 with the objective of mapping best practices in raw materials technology, regulation, research and education. The project also aims to foster cooperation opportunities with technologically advanced non-EU countries. The three-year EU-funded project is part of the European Commission’s Horizon
