AGI Announces 'Geoscience Innovating for Earth and People' Webinar Series for Earth Science Week 2023

ALEXANDRIA, Va. — The American Geosciences Institute (AGI) and Earth Science Week program partners invite students, educators, geoscience professionals, and others to participate in the "Geoscience Innovating for Earth and People" Webinar Series during Earth Science Week (October 8-14, 2023).

This webinar series will cover an array of thought-provoking, timely topics relating to the theme and will feature:

The Invisible Mine: envisioning the future of mining in Europe

Friday, October 13, 2023

This presentation will explore emerging robotic technologies set to revolutionise the future of mining. Cutting-edge innovations in AI-guided robotic mining pods and advanced selective mining processes funded by EU research programmes will be covered. The talk will showcase how the uptake of robotic technologies can minimise social and environmental impacts through improvements in safety, efficiency, resource utilisation and the radical reduction of surface footprints. The aim is to highlight the emergence of a new paradigm of near-invisible, minimally invasive mining enhanced by robotics, where raw materials are supplied reliably and ethically without harming natural ecosystems or human communities. The EU efforts to advance this paradigm are boosted by the need to reduce dependency on imports of mineral raw materials required to implement the Green Deal while increasing the public acceptance of mining.

Speakers

  • Vitor Correia, Secretary General, International Raw Materials Observatory
