Wildfires are causing earlier snowmelt across the western U.S., and this effect would only be exacerbated by projected warmer winters. This is according to a new study led by Colorado School of Mines
A new paper in Nature Communications calls on energy developers to incorporate state-of-art knowledge to ensure decarbonization projects benefit the communities that choose to host them.
Student researchers in Mines' Mineral and Energy Economics Program are delving into topics from geopolitics and supply chain risks to artisanal mining and responsible sourcing related to the global critical minerals landscape.
At Colorado School of Mines, researchers are transforming mine tailings into construction materials, creating new possibilities for recovering critical minerals and reducing mining’s environmental impact.
A new state-of-the-art facility on the Colorado School of Mines campus opening in 2027 will unite researchers from USGS and Mines to advance critical minerals and energy research vital to national priorities.
With expertise in critical minerals mining, policy, economics and community engagement, researchers at Colorado School of Mines are helping chart a path to strengthened national resilience and resource independence.
Mines Geophysics Professor Brandon Dugan is co-chief scientist on the international expedition, a collaboration between the International Ocean Drilling Programme and U.S. National Science Foundation.
In the 1960s, scientists were quite surprised when they looked at their data: it clearly showed that there was fresh or freshened water under the ocean floor. How did it get there? How long has it
An anthropologist who studies energy, engineering and public accountability, Smith is one of 26 scholars across the United States – and the first Mines professor ever – selected for the prestigious honor.
The Center for Mining Sustainability will fund four new research projects focused on rare earth minerals, aquifer management, nature-based water treatment and the repurposing of mine tailings.
