¿Haciendo memorias de Armero? Le tengo plan para esta noche! Ver el documental “Armero: 40 años con ciencia volcánica”, producido por el Servicio Geológico Colombiano (SGC) con el apoyo de Señal Memoria #SeñalColombia #RTVC 🇨🇴 www.radionacional.co/cultura/cine...

Love seeing this special issue and reading about the progress and challenges in volcano hazards and mitigation in Colombia, mostly by Colombian scientists, inc. Dr. Martha Calvache. She is not only an authority on Andean volcanoes, but also a huge inspiration to (female) Colombian geologists 🇨🇴🌋👩‍🔬

Armero, 40 years ago, was the worst “natural” disaster in Colombia’s history. The geological survey, although incipient, issued warnings that the national government ignored. We learned the lesson the hard way & today the Nevado del Ruíz is one of the most surveilled volcanoes on the continent 🇨🇴🌋⚒️

I have to endorse #Carrollite today—copper PLUS cobalt! 1st I love cobalt blue 2nd cobalt comes from kobold, the German name for an imp or demon, so named bc it made recovery of silver (from ores where they mixed) more difficult to recover. (Yes that’s where D&D got it.) #OreCup

Canada strikes back: procurement stockpiling & seemingly contracts for difference for nat. graphite & scandium. Also, new offtake agreements, a separation facility for rare earths & synthetic graphite plant. Read the piece from @bentleyallan.bsky.social transitionaccelerator.ca/blog/catalyz...

"Most critical minerals are not energy-transition minerals, and most energy-transition minerals are not critical minerals" The Minerals Security concept proposed by Daniel Franks (@Uqueensland) seems more relevant to me. I want to be on the sustainability boat, not in the war one...

📽️What on earth are rare earths? Why do they matter so much? Why do they nearly all come from China? And how worried should we be about the latest chapter in the trade war? These and more questions answered in my latest primer👇 youtu.be/vq4eRtwFjIc?...

Today, we celebrate the Day of the Race (Día de la Raza) across the American continent. I am proud of my Muisca ancestry and of bearing the name Guatame. The Muiscas are indigenous to the altiplano in the eastern Cordillera in Colombia 🇨🇴 Have you heard of the “El Dorado” legend? That’s them

I don’t necessarily identify as Hispanic. I prefer to use Latin and I’m warming up to the Latinx term. If you are also struggling with definitions, this article is a great read 👇🏽 #LatinSky
