  • "Uncovering America's Critical Mineral Needs: Geologists Tackle Supply Chain Challenges"

    "Uncovering America's Critical Mineral Needs: Geologists Tackle Supply Chain Challenges"
    2025/11/15
    In recent days, geology in the United States has taken the spotlight with the U.S. Geological Survey publishing its final 2025 list of critical minerals on November sixth. This list identifies sixty minerals deemed essential for the nation’s economy and security, with a focus on potential supply chain disruptions. According to the U.S. Geological Survey, new additions to the list include boron, copper, lead, metallurgical coal, phosphate, potash, rhenium, silicon, silver, and uranium. The update reflects new data, feedback, and changing industrial and geopolitical needs. Mineral security has become increasingly significant as rare earth elements, vital for smartphones, hard drives, and advanced defense systems, continue to be largely imported.

    This renewed attention on critical minerals comes as researchers highlight the need to develop more domestic sources and reduce dependency on imports. The U.S. Geological Survey emphasizes that rare earth elements could cause the highest cost to the American economy if their supply is disrupted. American Critical Minerals, an industry group, welcomed the inclusion of potash and lithium due to their importance for fertilizers and batteries.

    Continuing in geological developments, the summit eruption at Kīlauea in Hawaii remains active. The Hawaiian Volcano Observatory reported that by November thirteenth, the eruption had reached thirty-six episodes of lava fountaining since it began in December of last year. These ongoing volcanic events allow scientists to study eruption dynamics and gas emissions, informing not only local hazard assessments but also global models of volcanic activity.

    Elsewhere, landmark geology research was highlighted in reports from ScienceDaily. On November fourteenth, researchers in Greenland used advanced fiber-optic technology to track how iceberg calving produces hidden underwater waves. These waves rapidly melt glacier faces and are reshaping our understanding of ice loss and rising sea levels. Meanwhile, scientists in Antarctica recently analyzed six million-year-old ice, providing the oldest direct record of Earth’s ancient atmosphere and climate. This discovery details dramatic cooling trends and offers vital clues to greenhouse gas variations over the ages.

    Seismic activity continues to be a pressing topic. ScienceDaily notes new research into the triggers of earthquakes in regions once thought stable, such as Utah. Studies reveal that long-dormant faults may reactivate due to natural processes and human activities. In the Pacific Northwest, seismic data show the oceanic plate breaking into fragments, forming microplates and suggesting a slow, stepwise collapse of the subduction zone. This could have implications for earthquake preparedness and hazard estimation throughout the American West.

    Internationally, geologists gathered in Zaragoza, Spain from November fifth to seventh for the fifth International Professional Geology Conference. Attendees discussed pressing challenges, including geological hazards, mineral sustainability, and professional development. This global knowledge exchange highlights the interconnected nature of geoscience, as the United States and other nations respond to evolving resource risks and natural hazards.

  • Revolutionizing Earth's Dynamics: Groundbreaking Geological Findings and Critical Mineral Insights

    Revolutionizing Earth's Dynamics: Groundbreaking Geological Findings and Critical Mineral Insights
    2025/11/13
    Recent developments in geology reveal significant findings about Earth's dynamic systems and critical mineral resources. The Hawaiian Volcano Observatory reported that Episode 36 of the ongoing Halemaʻumaʻu eruption at Kīlauea ended on November 9 after approximately five hours of high lava fountains. The south vent produced fountains reaching about 1,200 feet in height while the north vent reached approximately 750 feet. Following the eruption, scientists observed only minor glow from the south vent overnight, with both vents fuming the next morning. Sulfur dioxide emissions remained at background levels between 1,200 and 1,500 tonnes per day. Observatory analysis suggests the next eruptive episode is at least a week away, with more than one week likely before fountaining resumes based on the amount of deflation observed during this episode. The current eruption, which began on December 23, 2024, has been characterized by episodic lava fountaining not observed in any eruptions since the 1983 to 1986 episodic fountains at the beginning of the Puʻuʻōʻō eruption.

    On the national minerals front, the U.S. Geological Survey released an updated critical minerals list on November 6. Uranium has been reinstated to the list after being excluded from the 2022 version, bringing the total number of critical minerals to 60. This reinstatement reflects growing nuclear energy demands in the United States. Meanwhile, researchers have identified a significant issue with American resource management. Scientists discovered that the United States already mines all the critical minerals needed for energy, defense, and technology, yet most are being discarded as mine tailings. Minerals including cobalt, germanium, and rare earth elements are lost in massive amounts during mining operations.

    Additional research published in recent weeks revealed new insights into continental geology. Scientists discovered that continents do not merely split at their surfaces but also peel from below, feeding volcanic activity in oceans. Simulations demonstrate that slow mantle waves strip continental roots and push them deep into oceanic regions, explaining previously mysterious patterns of volcanic activity.

    International geological conferences are convening this month to address these discoveries and other pressing concerns. The 14th World Conference on Earth Science and Geology is taking place November 13 and 14 in Paris, France, bringing together geologists and earth scientists to discuss climate change, environmental science, and advanced technologies for addressing geological hazards. These converging developments underscore how Earth's geological systems continue to reshape our understanding of planetary processes while presenting both challenges and opportunities for resource management and hazard mitigation.

  • "Copper Joins Critical Minerals List: Driving U.S. Resource Independence and Geologic Advancements"

    "Copper Joins Critical Minerals List: Driving U.S. Resource Independence and Geologic Advancements"
    2025/11/08
    In the United States this week, the field of geology saw significant developments tied both to natural phenomena and mineral resource policy. The U.S. Geological Survey has added copper to its official 2025 Critical Minerals List, which now totals sixty minerals considered essential to national security and infrastructure. This move, highlighted by American Pacific Mining and reported by the U.S. Geological Survey, is expected to spur new investment and streamline permitting for domestic copper projects. The policy shift directly targets reducing reliance on foreign sources for key metals used in energy, technology, and defense, with copper joining lithium, silver, zinc, and others as priorities for strengthened domestic supply chains. The U.S. government has already launched four new funding initiatives totaling nearly $1 billion and has begun making direct equity investments in large-scale mining projects, such as a five percent stake in the Thacker Pass lithium project in Nevada. Industry experts expect these policy changes to create positive momentum for U.S.-based operations in regions such as Montana and Alaska, where major copper-gold projects could help meet the growing demand for this versatile metal.

    Meanwhile, in Hawaii, the U.S. Geological Survey's Hawaiian Volcano Observatory maintained continuous monitoring of Kilauea Volcano, despite a lapse in federal appropriations. According to the latest daily update, overflows of degassed lava from the north vent persisted during the past twenty-four hours and inflation at the summit continued at a slow rate, suggesting the onset of a new eruptive episode may be imminent between November 8 and 11. These volcanic dynamics underscore the ongoing importance of real-time geological monitoring in hazard preparedness, especially as regional populations and critical infrastructure remain potentially at risk from changes in volcanic behavior.

    On the research front, an international breakthrough came from a team working in Antarctica, where scientists have discovered six-million-year-old ice. As reported by ScienceDaily, this ancient ice represents the oldest direct record yet of Earth's atmosphere and climate, providing invaluable data about the planet’s geologic and environmental history in the deep past. These findings further highlight the role geology plays not only in resource management and hazard mitigation, but also in decoding the climatic narrative of our planet.

    Internationally, the 5th International Professional Geology Conference just concluded in Zaragoza, Spain, focusing on technological advancements and the future of geological practice, while the upcoming 14th World Conference on Earth Science and Geology in Paris will emphasize sustainable resource management and environmental innovation. As these global gatherings and domestic policy shifts illustrate, geology continues to adapt and expand its reach—bridging scientific discovery, resource security, and international collaboration.
