Applied Mineralogy Group

This group aims to encourage study and research in applied aspects of mineralogy, such as ore mineralogy and ore microscopy, industrial mineralogy and petrology (including mineralogical aspects of refractories, slags, ceramics, concretes and other building materials), mineral fuels (including nuclear minerals and coals), environmental mineralogy (e.g. toxic and nuclear waste disposal, minerals and health, and fluid inclusion studies (in relation to ores and hydrothermal systems in particular). The group organises meetings and short courses and facilitates publication of conference proceedings and monographs. Further details about the group are available from the Group Secretary, C.J.
