The Geological Survey Organisations in delivering Critical Raw Materials autono...
Hollis, Julie; Albert, Capucine; Bertrand, Guillaume; Cabidoche, Marina; de Oliveira, Daniel Pipa Soares; Dobnikar, Meta; Teran, KlemenABSTRACT: Europe’s dependence on foreign-sourced critical raw materials poses a significant threat to its strategic autonomy and competitiveness. In this paper, we examine the historical significance of mining in Europe, the current geopolitical complexities surrounding critical raw materials supply, and recent EU policy initiatives aimed at bolstering domestic critical raw materials production and processing a...
A Geological Service for Europe: building trust through interdisciplinary and i...
Hollis, Julie; Calcagno, Philippe; Bertrand, Guillaume; de Oliveira, Daniel Pipa Soares; Negrel, Philippe; Díaz-Martínez, Enrique; La Vigna, FrancescoABSTRACT: Geology encompasses all of the Earth sciences and thus is multidisciplinary. It does not respect geopolitical borders, so requires teamwork across disciplines and between nations. Applying geological solutions to climate change increasingly requires transdisciplinary teamwork. This extends well beyond the geosciences to inform on issues of universal concern, e.g., deployment of renewable energy, manag...
Mapping and understanding Earth: Open access to digital geoscience data and kno...
Hinsby, Klaus; Négrel, Philippe; de Oliveira, Daniel Pipa Soares; Barros, Renata; Venvik, Guri; Ladenberger, Anna; Griffioen, Jasper; Piessens, KrisABSTRACT: Open access to harmonised digital data describing Earth’s surface and subsurface holds immense value for society. This paper highlights the significance of open access to digital geoscience data ranging from the shallow topsoil or seabed to depths of 5 km. Such data play a pivotal role in facilitating endeavours such as renewable geoenergy solutions, resilient urban planning, supply of critical raw ma...
Europe’s Raw Materials Supply Chain: Front-End Considerations
Wittenberg, Antje; de Oliveira, Daniel Pipa Soares; Bide, Tom; Hollis, Julie; Nirgi, Siim; Žibret, Gorazd; Gautneb, Håvard; Sadeghi, MartiyaABSTRACT: Supply chains are linked for specific purpose and by something. Hence, the respective links of the chain must be hooked in the right place, sufficiently strong, and have to start somewhere. This chapter looks at the raw materials supply chain as the first link in a commodity supply, from the European Union (EU) perspective. Aspects of the raw material potential of critical or strategic mineral resourc...
Pan-European geological data, information, and knowledge for a resilient, susta...
Hollis, Julie; Bricker, Stephanie; Čápová, Dana; Hinsby, Klaus; Krenmayr, Hans-Georg; Negrel, Phillippe; de Oliveira, Daniel Pipa SoaresABSTRACT: Many fields of research relevant to climate-change-related policy are grounded in geological sciences – far more than is generally recognised by the public or policy makers. These fields include management of marine environments, urban development, groundwater, landslide risk, understanding the geochemistry of soils and water, and securing raw materials. Through the concerted collaborative efforts, ov...
