Economic Geology Across Scales: From Solid Earth Processes to Critical Mineral Resources
Session ID#: 247959
Session Description:
The transition towards economies with lowered carbon footprint requires increased access to a diverse range of metallic and non-metallic resources, both traditional (e.g., Cu-Ni-Fe-Pt) and not (e.g., REE-graphite-Co-Li). Exploration successes remain conditioned by a better scientific understanding of the physico-chemical processes controlling the origin and distribution of mineral resources across all scales. This session aims at creating a dynamic forum at AGU where Earth scientists within and peripheral to economic geology can share their most recent findings with implications for the genesis and evolution of ore deposits. We welcome contributions that use ore deposits and their geochemical footprint to inform broader geological processes, such as tectonic evolution, mantle and crustal melting, volatile cycling, metal solubility, fluid–rock interaction, and surface weathering. Ultimately, this session seeks to bridge disciplinary boundaries and highlight the fundamental links between Earth processes and the formation of mineral resources needed for a sustainable global energy transition.
