Mining Geology Research Group

Primary Investigator: Dr. Elizabeth Holley

 

Everyone deserves access to the natural resources that enable healthy, safe, and fulfilling lives. As the world’s population expands, we must be increasingly creative to find and exploit these resources while minimizing environmental impact and leveraging positive outcomes for communities. Our efforts towards this goal span the mining lifecycle: we utilize geological tools to address technical and socio-technical problems in mineral exploration, mine development, production, and reclamation. We are fortunate to have strong support from industry, federal agencies, and NGOs. Our interdisciplinary team of geologists and mining engineers works in close collaboration with anthropologists, community members, educators, environmental engineers, geographers, and policy-makers around the world. Together we’re tackling some of the most pressing problems of our era.
