Mineral deposits and geomaterials

Substantial amounts of mineral resources are required today to build a low-carbon society (for energy devices, infrastructures, etc.). The study of mineral deposits is fundamental for the procurement and sustainable exploitation of these resources.

The making of the future low carbon society will require substantial quantities of mineral resources (for energy devices, infrastructures, etc.). The study of mineral deposits is of fundamental importance for the supply and the sustainable exploitation of these resources.
