GSEU - Geological Service for Europe

Delighted to share that Guillaume Bertrand, Ph.D.,co-Chair of EuroGeoSurveys Mineral Resources Expert Group and #GSEU’s Critical Raw Materials WP Lead, will be speaking at the CCOP Technical Secretariat meeting in Luang Prabang, Lao PDR, from 2–4 December 2024. Representing EuroGeoSurveys and GSEU, Dr Bertrand will deliver two keynote lectures: 🔹 On assessing the criticality of mineral resources 🔹 On critical minerals in Europe   This event, part of the ASEAN-Korea Cooperation Fund project, brings together experts to explore sustainable approaches to critical minerals management in ASEAN. As part of this, here is a map showcasing 'critical raw materials hard rock deposits of Europe', based on the 2023 CRM list. A great reminder of Europe’s significant role in sustainable resource management! 🌍 #CriticalMinerals #Sustainability #MineralResources #ASEAN #GeologyforSociety

Geology encompasses all of the Earth sciences and thus is multidisciplinary. It does not respect geopolitical borders, so it requires teamwork across disciplines and between nations. Applying geological solutions to climate change increasingly requires transdisciplinary teamwork. This extends well beyond the geosciences to inform on issues of universal concern, e.g., deployment of renewable energy, management of groundwater resources, mitigation of climate-induced geohazards, and more. To achieve sustainability and success in these fields, it is essential to employ knowledge of subsurface, land, and subsea geology for the discovery, tracking, preservation, regulation, and exploitation of resources. This knowledge also supports integrated and coherent surface and subsurface spatial planning and the creation of cohesive laws guided by scientific insights. This in turn requires multi-stakeholder collaboration between scientific and governmental agencies, industry, and civil society, from research design to data and knowledge application. Such a broad spectrum of engagement is at the heart of the concept of a Geological Service for Europe, founded on a long history of collaboration between the Geological Surveys of Europe –extending networks, fostering innovation, sharing knowledge, building capacity and common standards. Given the current lack of public knowledge and negative perceptions of geology, collaborative efforts based on objective science can have a significant impact on building trust. This contribution highlights the collaboration of the Geological Surveys of Europe with non-geoscientific partners in serving society, supporting nature, and delivering the Green Deal.
