“Lithium is a critical mineral for the energy transition, and the potential for increased U.S. production to replace imports has implications for employment, manufacturing and supply-chain resilience, ...

I never thought I would hear that said in my lifetime. Alabama, and West Alabama at risk of an actual earthquake? Yes, ...

Researchers say the Smackover Formation could hold enough lithium to supply global demand for years to come — if it can be ...

The quake had a depth of approximately 9 miles. A USGS map showed the quake was centered between Fontana and Rancho Cucamonga, with shaking felt from La Verne in the west to San Bernardino in the ...

The catch: figuring out how to extract that much lithium without wreaking havoc on the environment and the water table.

We considered a geological scenario in which water, containing biomolecules, is evaporated by a gas flow at the scale of millimeters. In volcanic porous rock, many of such settings can be imagined.

Adams increased during the month of September with a total of six quakes recorded. The U.S. Geological Survey Cascades Volcano Observatory (CVO) and Pacific Northwest Seismic Network (PNSN ...

The Department of Geological Sciences offers Master of Science (MS) and doctoral (Ph.D.) degree programs. Students interested in graduate work in the geological sciences should carefully read the ...
