The Arctic zone of the Earth is a major source of mineral and other natural resources for the future development of science and technology. It contains a large supply of strategic mineral deposits, including rare earths, copper, phosphorus, niobium, platinum-group elements, and other critical metals. The continued melting of the sea ice due to climate change makes these resources more accessible than ever before. However, the mineral exploration in the Arctic has always been a challenge due to the climatic restrictions, remote location, and vulnerability of Arctic ecosystems. This book covers a broad range of topics related to the problem of Arctic mineral resources, including geological, geochemical, and mineralogical aspects of their occurrence and formation; chemical technologies; and environmental and economic problems related to mineral exploration. The contributions can be tentatively classified into four major types: geodynamics and metallogeny, mineralogy and petrology, mineralogy and crystallography, and mining and chemical technologies associated with the exploration of mineral deposits and the use of raw materials for manufacturing new products. The book can be of interest for all those interested in Arctic issues and especially in Arctic mineral resources and associated problems of mineralogy, geology, geochemistry, and technology.

The Russian-German Raw Materials Conference (RGRC) is an interactive platform for the intensification of relations between the two countries in the commodity sector. It was established in 2006 by the Freiberg Mining Academy (Germany) and the St. Petersburg Mining University (Russia), the world's oldest mining and technical training institutions. It is held under the patronage of Professor Klaus Töpfer, former Deputy Secretary-General of the United Nations, and Professor Vladimir Litvinenko, Rector of the St. Petersburg Mining University. The Russian-German Raw Materials Conference, held annually alternately in Germany and Russia, brings together representatives from both countries in the field of science and economics. Annually increasing number of participants, creation of joint projects with Russian regions and strengthening of the function of a platform for cooperation of specialists in the field of science allowed the commodity conference to become the main dialogue platform of both countries in this field at the moment.

"This pictorial record of the men who worked in the Illinois and Kentucky fluorspar fields from the 1890s to the 1990s shows early and later methods of extracting, hoisting, processing, and transporting the mineral from mine mouth to end-user; notes its many industrial uses; and briefly illustrates its beauty and value to collectors."--
