Our Metallic Earth

Where do metals come from? How do they enable the energy transition? Dr Taija Torvela of the University of Leeds explores these questions in this documentary-style channel, discussing what is the role of Earth resources, particularly metals, in our world today. The videos range from describing sources and uses of individual metals and elements, to specific ore deposit types, to investigating what metals and other resources are required in the energy transition - and beyond. The short videos on this channel provide a jargon-free, accessible resource to everyone from the general public, to schools and universities: to anyone who is interested in learning about Earth resources and their crucial role in the modern society.
