Closing the gap between timescales in the laboratory and in the mantle
2022: the Year of Mineralogy
The International Mineralogical Association (IMA) has declared 2022, the Year a Mineralogy
Why 2022 ?
2022 is the bicentennial of the death of René Just Haüy (born 1743) who is a father of modern mineralogy and crystallography
‘Mineralogy 2022’ has been a worldwide celebration of mineralogy to highlight its importance in our everyday lives.
