The EGT-TWINN team would like to extend our heartfelt thanks to everyone who participated in the Conference on Exploration and Exploitation of Critical Raw Materials held on October 7-8, 2024. Your presence, contributions, and engagement were key to the event's success.

Attending the Conference on the Urban Geochemical Baseline Survey in Estonia was an eye-opener. The discussions, especially those led by experts from Finland and the UK, clearly demonstrated how much ground we have to cover in Estonia regarding urban soil sampling and mapping.

We are excited to announce that the program and abstracts book for the "Conference on Exploration and Exploitation of Critical Raw Materials: Focus on Northern Europe" is now available for download. You can access the documents in the "Documents" section of our project website.

The INQUA Peribaltic Working Group International Field Symposium 2024 brought together a diverse group of scholars to explore the Quaternary sediments, landscapes, and early settlement history of Western Estonia. Over several days of field excursions, participants engaged with the region's rich geological and historical heritage, gaining valuable insights into its complex environmental evolution.
