INTRAW
The INTRAW project consortium recently launched three operational reports providing insights on best practices and weaknesses of raw materials research and innovation, education and outreach and industry and trade in the five reference countries: Australia, Canada, Japan, South Africa and the United States.
The EU-funded INTRAW project was launched in 2015 with the aim of mapping best practices and boosting cooperation opportunities related to raw materials between the EU and five technologically advanced non-EU countries (Australia, Canada, Japan, South Africa and the United States).

The same algorithm that helps traders on Wall Street know when to buy or sell is helping geologists study "slow slip" earthquakes, gradual movement of Earth's tectonic plates.
Researchers at the University of Washington adapted Wall Street's relative strength index, a measure of a stock price's rate of change, to pick out the signatures of slow slips among the seismic noise.

A study that used a new digital library and machine reading system to suck the factual marrow from millions of geologic publications dating back decades has unraveled a longstanding mystery of ancient life: why did easy-to-see and once-common structures called stromatolites essentially cease forming over the long arc of Earth history?

A young-looking volcanic caldera on the moon has been interpreted by some as evidence of relatively recent lunar volcanic activity, but new research suggests it's not so young after all.

It was in 2010 that Amilcar Adamy first investigated rumors of an impressive cave in southern Brazil. A geologist with the Brazilian Geological Survey, Adamy was at the time working on a general survey of the Amazonian state of Rondonia. After asking around, he eventually found his way to a gaping hole on a wooded slope a few miles north of the Bolivian border. A preliminary inspection revealed it wasn't the work of any natural geological process.

More than half of Southern California's beaches could completely erode back to coastal infrastructure or sea cliffs by the year 2100 as the sea level rises, according to a study released March 27. Using a new computer model to predict shoreline effects caused by the rise of sea levels and changes in storm patterns, the research found that with limited human intervention, 31 percent to 67 percent of the beaches could vanish over the next eight decades with sea-level rises of 3.3 to 6.5 feet.

One of the most significant problems identified by oil and gas operators in unconventional plays is the inability to follow a prescribed well path consistently and to hit and stay within the targets identified collectively by the company's geologists, geophysicists and engineers. One reason is that directional drilling technology lags behind other technical advances that drove the tremendous growth in horizontal drilling.

Geologists with the territorial government say minerals smaller than grains of sand could be key to the next diamond find in Canada's Northwest Territories. Data released by the Department of Industry, Tourism and Investment shows whether certain minerals only found in kimberlite are present in core samples drilled from a nearly 8,000-square-kilometer area near Lac de Gras, N.W.T.
