Donnelly: Advancements in Forensic Geology: Geological, Police and Law Enforcement...

Forensic geology, also referred to as ‘forensic geoscience’ or ‘geoforensics’, is ‘the application of geology to policing and law enforcement, which may potentially be applicable to a court of law’. Generally, this may include; serious crimes (e.g. homicide, rape, and other sexual assaults), organised crime (e.g. related to gangs and cartels), counter-terrorism, ground searches for buried, hidden or concealed targets...

#EFGinclusion: EGU webinar on fieldwork accessibility for women

We share an insightful webinar by the European Geosciences Union (EGU) on fieldwork accessibility for women.

By discerning correlations and interdependencies among major cations, anions, and fluid characteristics, INLECOM INNOVATION aims to unravel the complex web of factors controlling Lithium concentrations.

Are you attending this year's edition of the EU Raw Materials Week in Brussels? Don't miss out on the events in which our project is participating:

Task 3.2 focused on the development of ion-exchange polymers formed into beads able to carry out the separation of Li+ from the other cations found in a brine (e.g., Na+, K+, Mg2+, Ca2+). In a later step, such ion-exchange polymers will be formed into ...

FIC-FIGHTERS is a new EU-funded research project dedicated to developing sustainable waste management practices. The project aims to transform phosphogypsum (PG) waste and other industrial by-products into valuable raw materials for various industries,...

Last summer, FIC-Fighters participated in the first virtual clustering meeting of projects funded under the same call.

FIC-Fighters is part of this initiative and we are grateful about the visibility the CCRI is offering our project.

In the new Future Mining Scenarios jointly developed by INTRAW and SAFE, we present a forward-looking exploration of the mining industry’s future, set against the backdrop of the year 2050. The scenarios are designed to equip decision-makers with a nua...

Europe’s net-zero transition will require three times more cobalt and more than $1.7 billion of new investment – and don’t forget effective government policies incentivising demand.

There is no net zero scenario which does not include clean and sustainable hydrogen for hard to abate sectors, transport, and energy storage.

Russia's Gazprom Neft and Gazprom own respectively 50% and 6.15% of Serbian oil company NIS.

Prime Minister Dorin Recean said Russian President Vladimir Putin "wants to leave the population of Transnistria without gas" in order to destabilise the situation in Moldova."

Becoming more efficient in how we produce and consume energy can substantially reduce our need for fossil fuels and our dependence on other countries for their supplies, bring down energy prices and raise comfort levels in our homes.

Europe risks leaving its renewables potential untapped and falling short in the global clean energy race and ultimately failing to meet its climate change goals. An EU-wide Energy Storage Action Plan might be that last critical step to cross the finish...

In an interview with POLITICO, Teresa Ribera said Donald Trump’s expected climate withdrawal presents an opportunity for others to boost their clean industries.

Make the green transition affordable instead of slowing it down, former Commissioner Janez Lenarcic tells Brussels.

EGEC is delighted with the Hungarian Presidency for initiating the proposal and to all Member States for adopting today the Council conclusions.

The nights are growing darker and there is snow on the ground here in Munich as winter draws in, in the Northern Hemisphere, and at this time of year you are probably thinking about what gifts to get that special geoscientist in your life! We know sour...

The EU’s panel of science advisers has called for more research into geoengineering, to understand the feasibility – and potential risks – of trying to block out the sun to cool a warming earth. Solar radiation modification (SRM), as it’s often called,...

Imagine losing your land – little by little – to deep, destructive trenches carved by rain and flowing water. This is what gully erosion does, a problem that has been devastating several communities worldwide. Ethiopia’s Aba Bora Watershed, the subject...

When oceanographer Toste Tanhua and his research team set up a trial system to monitor aquaculture conditions near Barcelona in 2023, they were keenly aware of the havoc a powerful storm had wreaked on the region three years earlier. Storm Gloria ravag...

In Catalonia there are 7.7 million residents and approximately 7.9 million pigs. That’s over one pig per person. Large-scale pig farming has led to an excess of nitrogen in the soil, a problem shared by many European regions. But just a few kilometres ...
