We'd never miss a chance to link earth science to a calendar event, so here's a look at some spooky minerals and fossils. #Halloween #EarthScience #Geology

Climate change has resulted in weather and climate extremes around the globe, and certain occupations frequently expose workers to hazards. Take a look at the six key impacts of climate change on occupational health and safety, and which groups are most at risk. Want more info?

A technology start-up company working in the mining sector needed to understand the key ESG issues of the critical mineral supply chain. This was vital in enabling them to source the raw materials to complete their process, and then to sell to their end client.

The rise of climate litigation in 2024 highlights a growing trend in holding governments and corporations accountable for their environmental impact. Our latest article takes a look at the surge in cases against "climate-washing" and the use of human rights claims to challenge insufficient climate actions, how lawsuits are shaping corporate governance and influencing climate policy, and the growing legal risks and implications for industries. https://lnkd.in/eW_wBzqC #Climate #Sustainability #ESG

All energy sources have negative effects, but they differ enormously in size. So, what are the safest, and conversely the deadliest, energy sources? https://lnkd.in/eY_A2YJh #Energy #GreenhouseGases #Emissions

Methane is a powerful greenhouse gas, and is the second-largest contributor to climate warming after carbon dioxide. Methane comes from both natural sources and human activities: an estimated 60% of today’s methane emissions are the result of human activities. Take a look at this list of sources, some of which might be surprising! #Emissions #ClimateChange #GreenhouseGases

Driven by evolving regulations and stakeholder expectations, an operator sought to identify which of the 15 Scope 3 categories were relevant and material to their operations, to focus data collection and reporting efforts. Take a look at the case study explaining the work we carried out on this project: https://buff.ly/3VQJS7p #CaseStudies #Emissions #Scope3

Our newest team member Nicola Morgan attended APOGCE 2024 last week in Perth! The event was packed with valuable insights, with sessions on decarbonisation, emissions management and collaborative strategies for sustainable decommissioning being key highlights. It was a wonderful opportunity to learn from industry experts and exchange ideas on building a more sustainable future for energy. Looking forward to applying these insights in meaningful ways! #APOGCE2024 #OilandGas #EnergyConference #PerthEvents Society of Petroleum Engineers International

The Birds, Not Mosquitoes project is a collaborative effort to save endangered Hawaiian honeycreepers from extinction. Invasive mosquitoes are spreading avian malaria, threatening native bird populations. But conservationists are fighting back, using the innovative Incompatible Insect Technique to introduce natural bacteria that act as mosquito "birth control." The method aims to suppress mosquito populations, protect vulnerable species, and restore Hawaii's biodiversity. Learn more: https://lnkd.in/e7Z8Junm #Biodiversity #Conservation #Sustainability

Gas produced by the UK releases less carbon dioxide (CO2) into the air than most other sources of gas it imports from other countries. When the UK imports gas from abroad, especially from ships carrying liquefied natural gas (LNG), it is much worse for the environment: gas from LNG produces almost four times more CO2 than UK domestic gas. However, if the UK imports gas from Norway through pipelines, the impact is less. See the full factsheet: https://lnkd.in/efvNWMuE #Emissions #CO2 #Oil&Gas
