New open access paper! 🎉 Rare earth elements, not so rare? In a wetland below an abandoned Colorado silver mine, REEs were more concentrated than cadmium and lead. Unlike trace metals, they persisted in impacted wetlands. What does this mean for how we monitor and remediate mine-impacted water? 🧪⚒️🌎
Climate trends in the Colorado Mineral Belt have intensified acid rock drainage (ARD) and acid mine drainage (AMD), increasing the need to understand trace metal and rare earth element (REE) cyclin...
