H/T @Maria Figueroa | Research Geologist at U.S. Geological Survey (USGS)
“[The H/T is] excited to share [their] new U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) data release - a global prospective map for seafloor massive sulfides (SMS) 🌊🌋🌍
The dataset provides a global spatial framework for understanding where geological and oceanographic conditions are favorable for SMS formation…”

Earth, Sweet Earth ( Science For Everyone) by Ekaterina Radkevich
The book is based on the author’s impressions of her numerous expeditions in the many countries. It is a fascinating narrative rather than a mere record of facts irrespective of how scientifically valid they can be. The book is bound to be appreciated as a piece of absorbing reading by anyone who cares to increase the scope of his or her competence about our sweet home of a planet that must be saved from destruction at all costs.
Ekaterina Radkevich, Corresponding Member of the USSR Academy of Sciences, is one of the most distinguished geologists whose works are well known in her own country and in many other parts of the world. The overwhelming success of her publications is chiefly due to her indefatigable practical activity in the USSR and elsewhere and her unflagging interest in theoretical research which she has been conducting for quite some time at the Institute of Geological Studies in the Far East (Viadivostok).
Note: This book was the last remaining volume in the Science for Everyone Series! This completes volume the SFE series in English.
Many, many thanks to Hassaan Ali who purchased and posted this book to us to complete this series. Much appreciated help!

China's Demand-Chain Strategy Upends Australia's Mineral Market Leverage
Can Australia's rich mineral resources still guarantee its economic clout, or will China's demand-chain strategy shake up the global market and redefine who holds the power? The answer lies in whether owning the resources or controlling the demand will ultimately capture the most value.

What is going on in WA? This sounds a lot like the “WorryFree” corporation from ‘Sorry to Bother You’, the Boots Riley horror comedy. The workers might want to read their contracts closely.
“When someone shows you who they are believe them the first time.”
― Maya Angelou“We’ve got a restaurant in there, we’ve also got a gym, and we’ve got other facilities that keep them glued in there.”
A crèche for kids with doctors and nurses: “we’re going to feed them, but mum and dad will be working in our office.”

A huge deposit of rare earth elements has been discovered in North Dakota. The minerals, which are vital for many technologies, are found in a 30-foot-thick layer of rocks in the Williston Basin. The discovery could reduce the US dependence on foreign sources, especially China, which dominates the global supply.
