Explore geoscience innovation and collaboration in Australia with host Anne Thompson. We talk to researchers at three universities and one geological survey - who are also all involved in the SEG 2025 Conference in Brisbane, Queensland. #SEG2025 #mining #metals #exploration #technology #network Join us to learn more about advancing science and discovery in Australia! www.seg2025.org Season 5 of #DiscoverytoRecovery is now streaming. In Episode 53, we cover the broad and important work of SMI, a comprehensive public database - the Queensland Deposit Atlas, consider how to unravel overprinting zones in porphyry systems, and discuss the impact of collaboration on developing technology to solve some of our deep exploration challenges. Many thanks to our guests: Rick Valenta, conference chair of SEG 2025, Valdimir Lisitsin, Geological Survey of Queensland, Angela Escolme, CODES, University of Tasmania, and David Giles, University of South Australia. SEG 2025 is in Brisbane, Australia, September 26-29, 2025. This will be a dynamic conference with cutting-edge science, new discoveries, technology, and more. Opportunities for networking and learning include several workshops and field trips before and after the event, relaxed social events and, of course, the conference itself. See you there! (fb)

Mineral exploration involves more than what is underground. As the energy transition accelerates, geologists are becoming the first point of contact between companies and communities — and the success of your project may depend as much on social license as it does on the economic viability. Join Sarah Mackenzie, Byambajav Dalaibuyan, and Pam Bourke for this practical two-day workshop focused on: ▪️Building effective community profiles ▪️Leading meaningful engagement ▪️Managing impacts and opportunities ▪️Navigating complex social terrain in unfamiliar jurisdictions This workshop is designed specifically for geoscientists. It does not require any background in social science — only a willingness to lead responsibly and think beyond the rocks! 🕒 Early registration deadline: July 31 🔗 Learn more and register: www.seg2025.org/ws08 #MineralExploration #Geology #CommunityRelations #CriticalMinerals #EnergyTransition #SocialLicense #SEG2025 #MiningGeology #ExplorationGeologists (fb)
