Rare Earths Aren’t Rare! Strategic minerals and Geopolitics

Friday June 26, 2026 6:00pm - 7:00pm EDT

CC - Meeting Room 6 (Science Track)

The name “rare earths” is a historical mistake. We’ll talk about the discovery of these elements, why they’re so important to the modern world, and why we (mostly) don’t produce them in the United States. Also a discussion of other strategic minerals (cobalt, titanium, etc.) and where we find them. Stephen Fleming presents.
