I’m grateful to be here in Barcelona attending Goldschmidt 2019, the top geochemistry conference and an all around great place to hear about geoscience and meet with colleagues from around the world. Barcelona is an amazing city, rich with culture, art, food, and now lots of geochemistry this week. I’m presenting our group’s work on Enhanced Weathering and CO2 mineralization of Kimberlite Mine Wastes in the session on The Role of Mine and Industrial Wastes in the Growing Demand of Mineral Resources. I’m looking forward to a stimulating session, learning from great folks in our field. I’ve already been to the natural history museum that covered most of the basics :)
