New challenges for Earth Sciences: geological mapping and critical raw materials
The roundtable will be held on September 15th in Padua as part of the "Geosciences and the Challenges of the 21st Century" conference.
Earth Sciences are called upon to provide our country with the scientific and technical knowledge needed to address the complex environmental and resource-related challenges—energy, raw materials, water—of the 21st century. Geological and thematic cartography (geological, geochemical, hydrogeological, mineral resource maps, etc.) represents not only the basis for in-depth knowledge of the territory and the management of natural and anthropogenic risks, but also, for example, a fundamental tool for the potential identification and extraction of critical raw materials.

The latter, of growing strategic importance, require in-depth knowledge of georesources, an accurate estimate of available reserves, and a proper assessment of the environmental impact of their extraction. The meeting aims to provide an opportunity to discuss our country's strategic and environmental needs, funding and investment opportunities—both public and private—and the concrete contribution that Earth Sciences can make to sustainable and responsible development.
ISPRA researchers are expected to participate.
