So, about the new round of #USGS #Mendehall #Postdoc #Fellowship opportunities…

The #MojaveDesert has a long history of #mining (see, for example, http://www.desertsymposium.org/publications/2023_Mines_of_the_Mojave.pdf). From 19th century mule teams hauling boron, to the uranium boom of the 1950’s, to modern mining operations like the Mountain Pass #RareEarthElements #mine, the #Mojave has been in the middle. If you’ve ever dreamed of being a part of that history then do we have the opportunity for you!

The need for #CriticalMinerals, like #lithium or #RareEarth #minerals for use in gadgets and as part of the transition to clean energy has never been greater. Mendenhall Opportunity 22-13, “Constraining the geologic and tectonic conditions of critical element mineralization in the Mojave Desert, California” (https://www.usgs.gov/centers/mendenhall-research-fellowship-program/22-13-constraining-geologic-and-tectonic-conditions), seeks a #postdoc to apply #GeologicMapping, #geochemistry, and #geochronology to better characterize critical minerals systems in the Mojave. The application window opens 1 September and closes on 1 November.

from #AspenInstitute:

"There is an urgent need for policymakers to define a coordinated critical minerals strategy for the United States. A U.S. critical minerals strategy must set out to achieve two objectives. First, it must seek to responsibly increase domestic and global production and processing of critical minerals at the scale and timeline needed to limit global temperature increases. Second, it must aim to secure responsible and resilient critical mineral supply chains that minimize vulnerability to external risks."

This is great reporting. Yes there’s hope and promising vision for a sustainable future. But it ain’t giving free license to mining corporations and corrupt politicians to do whatever they want to plunder and decimate what remains of our environment that sustains us with impunity just because ‘we need critical minerals’ and any caution or questioning of mining is ‘hypocrisy.’ #criticalminerals #mineralresources https://thetyee.ca/Analysis/2023/04/07/Rising-Chorus-Renewable-Energy-Skeptics/

#EV sales are growing, and so is the international race for #criticalminerals like #cobalt. But who's checking working conditions at #DRC's industrial cobalt mines? New research on the living wage shows workers are falling further into poverty.

Calling all geologists (#geology @geology) - do you make #geologic #maps related to #tectonics, #geologichazards, #criticalminerals, #geomorphology, or other #geologic #research somewhere in the US? Do you advise students at a U.S. based academic institution? Did you know that #USGS has a grant program to support these sorts of research activities? The proposal deadline is Jan. 10. Details about the proposal process here: https://www.grants.gov/web/grants/view-opportunity.html?oppId=344430

Hi all! I’ve just moved from another instance, so apologize for the repetition. I’m a geologist, currently working in public service (views here are my own!), supporting exploration for critical minerals and the energy transition.

My research interests are in the sedimentology, process stratigraphy, and ichnology of deep water, fluvial, and marginal marine deposits.
