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.

Warden and 10 co-authors reported in 2024 that groundwater resources are utilized near areas of intensive oil and gas development in California’s San Joaquin Valley. For this study, the authors examined chemical and isotopic data to assess if thermogenic gas or saline water from oil-producing formations have mixed with groundwater near the Elk Hills and North Coles Levee Oil Fields in the southwestern San Joaquin Valley, California.
Major ion concentrations and stable isotope compositions were largely consistent with natural processes, in...
Slav reported in early April 2025 that uranium purchases in the United States have slowed considerably. Power utilities are on edge as Trump tariff plans may impact Canadian uranium supplies. The root problem for U.S. power utilities is that the bulk of the uranium they use in their reactors is imported.
Uranium purchases in the United States have slowed considerably as power utilities process the effect of President Donald Trump's tariff offensive in the market-and that offensive may yet transform that same market.
Bloomberg reported this w...

Rollet reported in late March 2025 that AI models are being cranked out at a dizzying pace, by everyone from Big Tech companies like Google to startups like OpenAI and Anthropic. Keeping track of the latest ones can be overwhelming. Adding to the confusion is that AI models are often promoted based on industry benchmarks. But these technical metrics often reveal little about how real people and companies actually use them.

Matthews reported in late 2023 that the uranium spot market rally started in early 2022 due to geopolitical instability, continued supply cuts and utility companies renewing their long-term uranium supply contracts. Other factors influencing the now-bullish market include changing global sentiment, with plans announced to restart or extend the operational life of nuclear power plants, for example, in Japan, together with the construction of 63 new reactors, notably in China, India and Turkey.
Summary
➤ Uranium spot prices continued rebou...

Dawn reported in mid-March 2025 that a meteorite discovered in Somalia has revealed two new minerals, offering clues about asteroid formation and the solar system’s past. The El Ali meteorite, weighing over 15 tonnes, was first identified in 2020. Researchers analyzing a 70-gram sample found minerals never seen on Earth. They named the minerals elaliite, after the meteorite’s location, and elkinstantonite, honoring planetary scientist Lindy Elkins-Tanton.
These minerals formed under intense space conditions, shedding light on how a...
