Alexandria, VA The American Geosciences Institute (AGI) in coordination with the American Institute of Professional Geologists (AIPG) presents the second webinar as a part of the Geoscience Online Learning Initiative (GOLI). The webinar, entitled Critical and Strategic Minerals: Concepts and Status will air on February 1, 2012 at 2:00 pm EST.

This webinar, presented by Jim Burnell, the Senior Minerals Geologist with the Colorado Geological Survey, will review the history of what defines critical and strategic minerals, and evaluate some of the key commodities listed as critical today.
