Where can they be found around the globe\, and what are the political implications of their prime locations\, such as Greenland and China? Why are these minerals so important for our lives today and for our low-carbon future? What is the nature of Maine's deposits of these minerals\, and what are the controversies that surround their potential for mining? Geologist John Slack will discuss these contemporary\, vital issues and more.  \nJohn Slack is a retired geologist with the U.S. Geological Survey\, where he worked for 40 years in Reston\, Virginia\, and two years in Menlo Park\, California.
