Este livro sobre Rift Riches: Unveiling Kenya's Carbonatite Treasures examina os carbonatitos - enigmáticas rochas ígneas ricas em carbonatos provenientes do manto terrestre - que desafiam a geologia convencional. Derivados de magmas pobres em sílica enriquecidos em elementos como o nióbio, o tório e elementos de terras raras (REEs), eles sustentam inovações na eletrónica, aeroespacial e energias renováveis.Com base em investigações pioneiras, explora a sua distribuição global, com África como ponto focal, e analisa o Sistema de Rift da África Oriental no Quénia como um laboratório natural, destacando locais do Mioceno nas colinas de Nyanza e Mrima, ligações tectónicas e depósitos minerais. Além do seu significado mineralógico, o livro fornece estratégias de exploração sustentável para conciliar a exploração económica com a conservação ecológica, aumentando assim a segurança global de recursos sem comprometer a biodiversidade ou a equidade intergeracional.O texto aborda desafios geotécnicos como riscos sísmicos e impactos ambientais, defendendo a exploração sustentável para a segurança de recursos. Ilustrado com mapas e dados geoquímicos, este guia de 164 páginas é essencial para geólogos, decisores políticos e inovadores.
