Explore advancements in volcano monitoring and critical mineral research in this comprehensive lecture by Dr. Joe Biasi. Discover a groundbreaking technique that uses Earth's magnetic field measurements to detect magma movement, potentially reducing volcano monitoring costs by up to 4000 times. Learn how this method can benefit low-income countries with high volcanic hazards. Delve into the world of critical minerals, essential for modern life and national security, and understand the importance of elements like lithium, cobalt, and rare-earth elements. Gain insights into Dr. Biasi's research in Wyoming, focusing on critical mineral deposits and his strategies for preparing students for careers in this growing field. Examine the diverse approaches used in economic geology, including paleomagnetism, petrology, mineralogy, and geophysical techniques, and their applications in various geological disciplines such as volcanology, tectonics, and structural geology.
