Last year in collaboration with #Apple my research team at the #USGS developed a new #environmental metric to quantify mine wastes and physical burdens of #mining #criticalminerals. Our newest publication extends this work to the #RareEarthElements #REE

Results from our dynamic material flow analysis of the #CriticalMineral #Tantalum now available. Our model suggests the U.S. may consume up to twice as much tantalum as previously estimated, mostly in electronics and superalloys for aerospace and energy. doi.org/10.1016/j.resconrec.…
#MaunaLoa, the world’s largest volcano, is erupting after 38 years of silence!! 🌋🌋
#MaunaLoa is erupting from vents on the Northeast Rift zone. Flows are moving downslope to the north. USGS Photos from Civil Air Patrol fight. #MaunaLoaErupts @Volcanoes_NPS @Hawaii_EMA @CivilDefenseHI

New paper out by one of my PhD students @UNLVGeoscience, Dalton McCaffrey, examining hidden or embedded critical metals flows focusing on niobium and using the US and China as case studies: sciencedirect.com/science/ar…
An awesome opportunity for GIS and machine learning experts out there! #MachineLearning #CriticalMinerals #MineralResources #GeologicMapping

Woah look at this crazy eruption recorded from space!! This incredible clip is shared periodically, often without context, and often claiming to be other eruptions.
A good one to save for future reference, with the story: svs.gsfc.nasa.gov/11446 Video by @rsimmon

#Etna is not exactly famous for producing pyroclastic flows, though they are pretty common during her violent paroxysmal episodes. Here is a nice little one during the powerful paroxysm on the evening of 10 February 2022.

It's that time of year again! Our latest and greatest on the global & domestic supply, production & related industries of 90 different mineral commodities: the 2022 USGS Mineral Commodity Summaries are out! ow.ly/pHyb50HJywC #criticalminerals #minerals

That pressure wave is just... wow.
This view shows the location of the Hunga Tonga-Hunga Ha'apai eruption in relation to New Zealand where there have been reports of hearing it.

Our climate stations recorded a brief spike in air pressure as the atmospheric shock wave pulsed across New Zealand.

Large eruption ongoing at Hunga Tonga Hunga Ha’apai (Tonga) and associated local tsunami. Tune into the Tonga government and media for updates. #tonga #HungaTongaHungaHaapai #eruption #tsunami #volcano

I don't tweet much but this is important. I am asking ALL my scientific colleagues to amplify this buzzfeed story today about sexual harassment in the sciences. We must make science safe and inclusive for everyone.

There are tons of climate protests happening right now, and so little coverage. One holdout US senator is poised to gut meaningful climate action from the budget bill. I've been posting mostly pigeon stuff lately but I want to repost these climate things too. Can't stay quiet.

I’m safe on Mars. Perseverance will get you anywhere.

Touchdown! Mars rover Perseverance has landed on the Red Planet! The #CountdownToMars has ended in success. Next up: science!

Congratulations, Dr. @haupt !!! I’m sure this will be an excellent new chapter in life for ya!
Well, it’s a bit overdue because I’ve been busy with it already but I’m very excited to announce that I have a new job! I am now the Director of WV STEM Programming for the @NYSFoundation!
In honor of #InternationalDayOfWomenAndGirlsInScience here are some photos of my favorite #Paleontologist in #Antarctica. Feeling proud and thankful for all the amazing #WomenInScience and #WomenInSTEM in my life. You make this world a better place!
