Sustaining arctic/subarctic ecosystems and the livelihoods of northern Indigenous peoples is an immense challenge amid increasing resource development. The paper describes a "tragedy of open access" occurring in Canada's north as governments open up new areas of sensitive barren-ground caribou habitat to mineral resource development. Once numbering in the millions, barren-ground caribou populat...

We propose a new approach to the development program for a rawmaterial base based on public-private partnership (PPP) mechanisms. This scheme is applied in production infrastructure development projects financed by the Investment Fund of Russia. This is a Russia-specific mechanism; thus, a special toolkit is designed for its assessment and formation. Our approach is based on synthesis of a simu...

Purcell Mountains as a roadless tract of recreational wilderness area. It is located in the rugged mountain range between Kootenay Lake and the Columbia Valley, centred approximately 30 kilometres north of Kimberly (Figure 1-3-1) and is adjoined on the south by St. Mary's Alpine Provincial Park. Resource development, including mineral exploration and mining, was prohibited and any existing clai...

鉱物資源は産業の発展や脱炭素社会の実現において重要な役割を果たすが、その一方でライフサイクル影響評価において鉱物資源使用はもっとも議論の余地のある影響領域の一つとされており、様々な課題を抱えている。そこで本稿では、鉱物資源使用のインパクト評価に関する近年の研究動向や今後の課題について解説することを目的とする。まずインパクト評価における基礎として、鉱物資源使用に関わる問題や影響メカニズムについて整理した。次に、既存の評価手法・モデルを 6 カテゴリーに分類した上で、それらの特徴や課題について解説した。最後に、主に鉱物資源使用のインパクト評価手法開発に関する今後の課題についてまとめた。

this paper dealswith thermo-mineral groundwater of themondragone plain (campania, southernitaly) and the possibility to use this low enthalpy geothermal resource. in the nw sector of this plain, at thebottom of mt. pizzuto, near the sea, there are thermo-mineral waters (50 °c) of sodium-chloride type,sulfureous and rich in co2 whose recharge is from the mt. pizzuto groundwater body. in the se s...

The exploration industry of Ukraine is experiencing a protracted crisis. It confirmed by the curtailment funding for development country mineral resources 60% last year which causes closure companies. range problems traditionally solved geography significantly reduced. These reasons encouraged us to consider main methodological approaches study potential specific regions. studied such as natura...
