Introduction to the I2M Web Portal
This I2M Web Portal is made available to clients, I2M Associates, geoscientists, and the general public worldwide with a focus on geoscientific and other matters of interest to I2M management. Searches can be conducted using single words, phrases or exact phrases (if you put them in quotes), for example: a simple phrase might be "Russian interests in U.S. uranium" whereas an exact phrase is "critical minerals".
I2M Consulting personnel also monitor hazardous field conditions around the world via our Field Alerts program, cybersecurity conditions on the Internet in our Security Alert program, and relevant bias in the Media in our Confronting Media Bias Alerts program.
Candidate papers, technical news items, classic reports, and new publications can be submitted to the I2M Web Portal editors for review. Those deemed worthy are summarized, abstracted, and/or reviewed with [Editorial comments...] and are included in this database appearing under What’s New. Some technical news announcements, short articles, or summaries are captured in total because they are deemed important in case they are later removed by publishers. They will remain as records in the I2M Web Portal database indefinitely.
Click here for a brief mini-webinar that discusses the basic features of the I2M Web Portal.
This database contains 12,450 records as of February 1, 2023. Additional details are available at About the I2M Web Portal.
Please feel free to contact us if you have any questions, comments or suggestions.
