Modelling mines: how can a new 3D modelling platform make mining more sustainable and be part of the solution to climate change?

Futurum

Mines consume a lot of energy and water when they are drilling and crushing rocks, which they do to extract metals and minerals. The water and energy used by a mine, along with the waste produced, is part of its mining footprint.

A rocky revolution: Can virtual 3D models transform the teaching of geology?

Futurum

Geology is the fundamental science behind mining, necessary for extracting the resources required to transition to clean energy. Palaeontologists examine fossils to uncover the mysteries of life and the species that roamed the Earth before humans evolved. Explore careers in geology. • geologycareerpathways. . •

What is the fate of dissolved oxygen in our oceans?

Futurum

CLIMATE MODELS — big computer models that use maths, physics and chemistry to characterise how energy and matter (solid, gas or fluid) flow between the hydrosphere (oceans, ice, rivers and lakes), atmosphere and land. They also value experience of working in marine science or oceanography research. I loved going to university.
