I'll recommend your “Volcanoes: 10 Things You Should Know”! I’m really enjoying how accessible & engaging it is. Each of the 4 chapters I’ve read so far beautifully blends storytelling with scientific facts & practical knowledge about volcanoes! It would be a fantastic read for young scientists!

This shows the long-term environmental impact of deep-sea mining and the slow pace of biodiversity recovery even after decades. Could these findings influence ongoing negotiations on mining regulations at the International Seabed Authority?

raising urgent questions about resource sovereignty and geopolitical powers.

The way pioneer geologists mapped the world not only shaped science, but also defined borders, determined who controlled natural resources, and influenced who benefits from industrialisation and who was left behind.

acknowledging how geology was instrumental in colonial expansion, particularly in Africa’s mineral exploitation.  As I discussed in my The Conversation UK article, lnkd.in/enpTR6_s; today, we are now in the midst of a new critical minerals race,
