Groundwater is a crucial resource for humankind, as well as for natural ecosystems. Therefore, any subsurface use considers how it will affect shallow groundwater reserves. At least, that is how it should be, because these interactions are complex and uncertain. This problem is approached by two GeoERA projects. VoGERA is a groundwater project that looks […]
The presence of mining companies can heighten gender inequalities within the affected area. Mining companies not only have a responsibility to ‘do no harm’ in this respect, but also have an interest in enabling women and girls to fulfil their potential and have access to actively participate in socio-cultural life and in the development of […]
The COVID-19 pandemic has exposed and effected mining regions and cities in different ways. The mining sector, highly dependent on the commodity market, is especially exposed to external shocks, threatening jobs, income levels and living standards at the local level. Mining regions are exposed on two fronts by the economic crisis caused by the coronavirus […]
The causes and consequences of climate change have made us think of an energy transition where local geo-resources, including geothermal energy, come to the foreground. GeoConnect³d is a cross-disciplinary project, funded under the GeoERA geo-energy theme, with a focus on providing relevant geological context to allow for the identification of opportunities in the shallower and […]
Up to 70% of scientists will transition to careers outside of academia after their PhD. Transferable scientific skills and knowledge are becoming progressively valued in non-academic job sectors. However, navigating job opportunities and transitioning to different career paths can be difficult. This webinar will focus on the career paths of four scientists, from a background […]
The COVID19 pandemic created a severe economic crisis and has crashed the prices of oil and gas on global markets.
