Beautiful aerial view of sunrise over London! Off to Kiruna for a few days to visit the Kiirunavaara deposit and chat about potential collaborations 😊 #CriticalMetals #Mining #Exploration EarthSciences UCL

🔔 MEET THE COMMITTEE 🔔 After the MDSG 2023 Winter Meeting in January, a new organising committee for MDSG was elected, and we will be introducing them to you all in the next few weeks! 🚨

Great to be here in #Malawi representing EarthSciences UCL at the #REEDRILL ICDP workshop - learning a lot about carbonatites, catching up with old friends and making new ones and having some great science discussions in a beautiful country 😎

Almost home from our fantastic #REEDRILL ICDP workshop in Malawi. Many thanks to everyone who came and especially to Mkango Resources #MKA for support. First steps taken in planning a major scientific drilling project on carbonatites, #rareearths, #groundwater & #deeplife!

🔔 MEET THE COMMITTEE 🔔 Our next new committee member is Todd Houlahan, Industry Representitive for MDSG, and Director of International Mining at Evident Scientific!

Here is to MSci Class 2023, what a huge achievement - we’re so proud of you! Well done to all and congratulations!

🔔 MEET THE COMMITTEE 🔔 Next up is Antony Benham, Regional Director for the UK and Saudi Arabia at The MSA Group. His role involves providing services across the mining value chain, from early-stage exploration through to mine planning, production, closure and rehabilitation.

🔔 MEET THE COMMITTEE 🔔 Today we're introducing our Secretary and Industry Representative Rachael Naylor! Rachael is a Project Geologist working for Rio Tinto Exploration in Finland.

🔔 MEET THE COMMITTEE 🔔 This week we are introducing the last of our PGR Student Reps - Erin Thompson (Erin Thompson) of Geology at Leicester! She is studying the magmatic controls on Ni-Cu-PGE mineralisation of the northern Bushveld Complex with NL4D.

Next up was Katie McFall who presented work from her post-doc on fluid inclusions from across the northern limb - there’s lots of them there!

Visiting some of our EarthSciences UCL students in the field this week to help with their independent mapping project on the beautiful Montgó Massif, Spain. They definitely picked a nice place to map! 😎 #mapping #fieldwork #Geology #valencia

2-year postdoc at Cardiff University for somebody with an interest in sulphide (or sulfide if you prefer) geochemistry. cardiff.ac.uk/jobs

Great opportunity for any UK or Ireland based ECRs working on mineral deposits 🙂 #ECR #AcademicTwitter #minerals

MDSG is happy to announce our inaugural MDSG Early Career Researcher Distinguished Lecturer Award! This program aims to promote the work of ECRs working in the field of mineral deposits by fully funding a series of lectures within Great Britain and Ireland. More details below⬇️

Deadline 31st August

Excited to be at #SEG2023 in London - now the organisation is (mostly!) done it's great to see it under way and to be here to promote EarthSciences UCL's new Bloomsbury Centre for Earth Resources research group - come say hi if you're here 😊 Society of Economic Geologists
