Mineral ExplorationCan an expert geologist deduce where the red sand in Tom's backpack came from? (EP. 2)
New episode! In this series, Assistant Professor Arjan Dijkstra tries to guess where sand samples came from just by looking at a graph…

ITCMineral ExplorationCan geologists guess where you've been on holiday from the sand in your backpack?
Does it fascinate you that sand from different places looks and feels different? The answer lies in its mineral composition and its journey through time.
Assistant Professor Arjan Dijkstra knows all about it. In fact, rumors say he can tell where sand comes from—without ever seeing it. That’s exactly what we’re putting to the test!
To do that, we’…Dijkstra, A.H. 5:46

Greenland’s unique underground potential for energy transitions and climate insights
Greenland is a widely discussed part of the world today, attracting attention from multiple perspectives. What exactly is it that makes the largest island on our planet (pop. 56,000) so popular?
A large part of Greenland's current prominence can be explained by the role it plays (or could play) in two highly topical areas.
Firstly, the ground cont…Marcel Ottevanger 5 min

How does geological remote sensing make mineral exploration and mining more effective?
Mineral exploration and mining require precisely defined target areas to avoid unnecessary environmental damage and wasting money and resources. Here, geological remote sensing plays a vital role.
If this topic interests you, the Geoversity beginners' course in Geological Remote Sensing for Mining & Exploration is not to be missed.
So what does ge…Adapted by Ottevanger, M. 5 min
