Researchers from The University of Western Australia have developed a progressive new mining technique in collaboration with The CSIRO, the Technical University of Denmark and the University of Exeter. The new technique, which uses electric fields to extract metals from hard rock ore, could replace the traditional digging method of mining, a method which results in considerable environmental damage and global estimates of 100 gigatonnes of soil waste each year.
Professor Henning Prommer from UWA’s School of Earth Sciences joins
Jeff Bullen on
On the Record to discuss this new technique and what it could mean for mining in the future.

Time Could Be Running Out for Earth’s Coral Reefs

New research shows that the window of opportunity available to rescue corals is rapidly closing.
The double-punch of global warming and the increased acidification of the oceans has placed the world’s coral reefs in severe jeopardy. These stressors cause ‘bleaching events’ in which coral expels algae from its tissues needed to sustain it. Corals can recover from these events, which turn their tissues white, but as the period between subsequent occurrences diminishes, the chances of recovery are slim.
The continuing loss of these organisms, which provide essential habitats for a wealth of species, could majorly hit the diversity of marine animals, making our oceans less varied and beautiful ecosystems.
