Geologist Colin Devey travels to places rich in metals — from deserts in Jordan to deep mines and urban “mines” (cities) — to explore how the world’s transition to green technologies hinges on vast amounts of metals and raw materials, how mining ethics and environmental sustainability collide, and how the “big six” raw materials (copper, nickel, cobalt, lithium, rare earths, phosphorus) are becoming critical to our future.
