Earth Science Week 2025

Discover how the hidden resources beneath our feet are helping in the clean energy revolution! In this video, we explore energy solutions that are growing in popularity, and the role of geophysics in shifting toward sustainable power and materials for the future.

We discuss geothermal energy extraction, critical mineral exploration, and carbon capture and storage and how Earth science tools like seismic tomography, magnetotellurics, and GNSS are helping locate and manage these energy solutions.
