Overview

Students in the The Earth and Environmental Engineering - Sustainable Mining and Materials at Columbia University gain a better understanding and working knowledge of present-day infrastructures and processing methods for minerals, metals, and materials – their strengths and weaknesses.

Formal training is structured to empower you to develop and manage future technologies for a world that requires the use and transformation of earth resources to support our industrialized society in a sustainable manner.

Scope

Earth mineral and metal resources are the backbone of civilization and are critical to economic development and meeting the demands of a growing population. Resource development today faces several big challenges: (i) declining value content in the available ore bodies and poor quality of the resources; (ii) increasing focus on safety and health risks, and environmental impacts; (iii) inefficient and high energy and water consumption rates; (iv) huge risks associated with waste generation and management; (v) large secondary resources found in tailings and urban waste that can be made useful as part of the Circular Economy.
