Redox, crust formation and copper porphyries
Speaker: Cin-Ty Lee, Professor, Geology Department, Rice University
The ongoing transition to renewable energies requires access to different types of natural resources, such as the critical metals needed to support scaled up electrical grids and energy storage. The field of Earth sciences must keep up with these trends by training the next generation in mineral exploration both from an applied and basic research perspective. Here, I will talk about the wonders of how geological processes align and conspire to scavenge and transport trace metals from the scale of hundreds of kilometers and concentrate these metals into a small ore deposit. I will focus on the journey of copper from the man...

What a Badass Thank you basil Hope Karma lets the Granite Gods pay you back for all your research and mind carving- gratitude 🙏
Cool!
If you go to the sankey diagram at the beginning, and compare to previous years, you might see that electricity use has flattened in the US. It is also apparent that it is possible to harness as much electricity in hydrogen, as the US uses in a year for the entire nation. Further, It is a mistake to confuse electric drive trains and motor based systems, with ICE or fossil ones. It takes half of less energy in electric systems to do the work of fossil based heat engines. If the speaker looks at energy use per capita, the advantages would be far more stark.
Typical Texas weather is called Drought or Flood.
I think the area you are looking for is in the Okanagan Valley
Start asking people around the world to send you rock samples with shipping so that you can map out certain locations with a promising area to find more promising samples at. More specifically try to find people around a location with a already estimated geological position with possible deposits.

any researcher in artificial intelligence applied to the reservoir like me must massively like and share this video of great scientific quality
TY Basil - love your content, sharing far & wide!!!
Doesn't it stand to reason, the titanic forces necessary to push quadrillions of tons of rock miles into the sky came from an impact collision? Or, more accurately, a series of impact collisions, Earth doesn't compress and expand in some weird routine way that pushes, or pulls, outward, so the motive force had to be external.
How good is NRELs OpenFAST for Time Domain coupled assessment?
Very good video. You are way ahead of the curve. Does the part at time stamp 42:29 about high PO4 in olivine that crystalizes fast have anything to do with the origin of carbonatites?
Thank you all for your time and for sharing this presentation.
Makes sense that Austin has the bat caves. It’s interesting how it’s farm land east of the escarpment. We always noticed it in a simpler way, that it’s flatter and more green east of I-35. Thanks for the insight, really cool video.
Lacking scientific explanation
First heard of that model 2 days ago from a lecture from Nick Zentner. Fascinating how new (or in this case: partly old) evidence can overturn what was thought to be common wisdom. Lets hope that more evidence can be collected and the issue can finally be laid to rest.
Thank you for sharing
This is by far the most enlightening and rational lecture and approach I have ever heard on the subject. How can we help getting this information into the hands of policy makers?
There are entirely too many people being paid to do nothing except analyze nonsense. Until environmental science can account for EVERY SINGLE VARIABLE which contributes to the climate, we have no idea EXACTLY what problems we MAY BE CREATING for the future by interferring in the earth's cycle. I beleive that the sudden cessation of chlorinated hydro carbons had the effect of causing a temp spike.. WHY WOULD IT NOT HAVE CAUSED THIS? The earth had been slowly changing cycling to compensate for the chloro floro carbons AND THEN all of a sudden they are gone... the earth now has to change to mitigate a different alteration, do you think that such a large complex system can account for a sudden CHANGE, from what had been steadily increasing for the prior 60-80 years to suddenly completely devoid of it? BTW any carbon released from digging materials out of the earth is CARBON which has always been in the EARTH's CARBON CYCLE, and had been naturally sequestered. Natural sequestration occured in the past and there is no reason to beleive it will not happen again... why? because raised C02 levels produce a GREENING of the planet, which will in turn will absorb more PLANT FOOD/C02. PLUS higher C02 levels actually makes plants more resistant to DROUGHT!
which company do you send them out to for chemical analysis
How can we collect data?
ICE MELTING DOES NOT RAISE SEA LEVELS.
If it did we would put our ice tea glasses in a bowl right? 😅
WE HAD HIGHER CONCENTRATIONS IN THE PAST AND COOLER TEMPS, ANOTHER COLD MORNING IN MID SUMMER, HOW MANY PERSONAL JETS ARE FLYING AROUND GOING TO CLIMATE CHANGE CONFERENCES.
It's all a big money spinner. Isn't it Myles?
The Tom Nelson YT channel contains talks from experts who disagree with the anthropogenic global warming agenda. It should be obvious to anybody not captured by the alarmist agenda that net zero is a scam.
Man made CO2 causing climate change is the biggest hoax/scam/shakedown of all time.
Or you could accept the mountain of evidence from real science that prove that CO2 can not be a driver of climate...
The IPCC has been a scientific fraud from the beginning. When their first draft report went out the data set used in their models did not support any climatological catastrophes. Instead of accepting the normal scientific discipline of changing or discarding one's theory, in order to keep the institution alive, the "scientists" chose to change the data. The 'little ice age " data from the i300-1400's in the original data set magically disappeared. Look up "The Truth About Greenhouse Gasses" written by Dr. Will Happer, a real scientist.
This climate agenda is bout human population control we have very little control of the climate changes 😂😂😂
Fantastic factcheck presentation. Since 2000, China almost eliminated energy poverty to the tune of of supplying hundreds of millions of people with electrons from coal and hydro. That's a bad thing apparently. Anti-coal narratives will be the most obvious and largest form of net zero failure and maintaining fuel poverty, while decarbonising coal is easy, the will power is lacking.
Why is nobody asking if those advisors and experts had ever been right before with their climate doomsday predictions? In the Lincoln Sunday Journal and Star from April 13 1931? “Will melting ICEBERGS Engulf WORLD?”. So called experts and scientist warned the public of a pending catastrophe where by the year 1950 Manhattan would be flooded. And if all the ice one the planet is going to melt see level would rise by 150 feet. When climate science has failed for the last century in predicting future events, why do we believe them now.
This is BS science
Net zero is gross ignorance!!
If you look at the actual data, which you are never presented, you see three things very clearly. 1) the data shows that the Earth isn't warming. 2) The data that is manipulated by people shows the Earth is warming rapidly, 3) the process used to manipulate the data is fraudulent.
How will we stop this scam, as so much is invested in it. The word bandwagon springs to mind. Co2 at 0.04% of the Atmosphere is supposed to be in control of the temperature. Clouds determine the temperature, and the sea controls the amount of them. I'm hoping it gets as warm as the Romans had it, or maybe the Medieval warm period.
Real tittle: How we lie, so the tyrannical elite can keep their power. You should be ashamed of yourselves.
well, good news: all climate models projected temperatures too high, which becomes clear now that real measurement data is coming in after over 30years of satelite data. The real measurement data shows 0.1C per decade, while all models projected 0.2 up to 1C per decade. The models where ALL wrong. The talk begins with claiming that we reach 2C in 3 decades, which in reality (as the data now shows) is 0.3C. And that amount isn't unusual, as it happened many times in the past (both cooling and warming). A shame that Oxford employs such swindlers - it used to be a place of real science.
That’s the truth! Well said!
Heard one solar physicist comment that were still warming from the lows of the maunder minimum
I'm curious how long it will take to make use of data from ozone measuring devices. One recently made device was made by Forest Mimms III.
A nutter who believes he can stop the earth from warming should be in an asylum, not a university... A pig in the money trough of alarmism.
What it takes to net zero is a permanent COVID trajectory. Therefore, the answer is bio-terrorism.
Great talk and great questions.
Go Shukuru nd friends 👍
Thanks
Thank you ❤
According to this, what exactly was responsible for the building of the Southern Rockies in Colorado?
This is totally awesome. It cleans up confusion about the Salinian block being in between the Franciscan and Nacimiento blocks. Some thought there could have been over a hundred miles of sinistral motion along the Sur-Nacimiento fault on top of SAF dexteal motion. That seemed like a ridiculous explanation to me. Another explanation was that the Salinian block squeezed into the Franciscan/Nacimiento accretionary wedge, from a southern california/mexico origin point where the granite batholith fit to the southern end of the sierras. That was also clunky. The hit and run model basically claims there was a much broader accretionary wedge and the northward shearing of the insular subcontinent slid the Salinian block and Nacimiento block up along the central coast of california *prior* to SAF displacement
fascinating!
Hi, am interested in analysing sample, how do I go about it?
The West Coast Baha-BC story is becoming established science. But the story of the Colorado Rockies still seems hand wavy to me. Then East of there we have an ocean. All are different parts of the same story. Who is going to tie it all together?
Leva's voice has not changed at all! :) The same as it was 30 years ago.
