China's ion-adsorption rare earth resources, mining consequences and preservation
TLDR
The surface mining and heap leaching of China's unique ion-adsorption rare earth resources have caused severe environmental damage, and China needs to develop and implement an integrated rare earth resource management approach for a sustainable rare earth industry as mentioned in this paper.Abstract:

Global demand for rare earth resources and strategies for green mining.
Tanushree Dutta,Ki-Hyun Kim,Minori Uchimiya,Eilhann E. Kwon,Byong-Hun Jeon,Akash Deep,Seong Taek Yun +6 more
TL;DR: There is an urgent need to develop efficient REE recycling techniques from end-of-life products, technologies to minimize the amount of REEs required per unit device, and methods to recover them from fly ash or fossil fuel-burning wastes.

The Rare Earth Elements: demand, global resources, and challenges for resourcing future generations
TL;DR: In this paper, the balance of the individual rare earth elements (REE) in each deposit type and how that matches demand is considered, and some of the issues associated with developing these deposits are discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Effect of Chinese policies on rare earth supply chain resilience
Nabeel A. Mancheri,Nabeel A. Mancheri,Benjamin Sprecher,Gwendolyn Bailey,Jianping Ge,Arnold Tukker +5 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors analyze the supply chain dynamics by specifically targeting a number of Chinese rare earths elements (REE) policies that have disruptive tendencies, focusing on how price responds to various resilience influencing mechanisms such as diversity of supply, regulatory frameworks and stockpiling.

China's environment in a globalizing world
Jianguo Liu,Jared M. Diamond +1 more
TL;DR: In a Feature this week, Jianguo Liu and Jared Diamond look at the effects of China's sweeping environmental change and socio-economic challenges, synthesizing detailed literature that is scattered even for Chinese readers and largely inaccessible to western readers.

Global patterns of loss of life from landslides
TL;DR: In this article, a global data set of fatalities from nonseismically triggered landslides that resulted in loss of life between A.D. 2004 and 2010 permits for the first time proper quantifi cation of impacts and spatial distributions.

TL;DR: Damage to ecosystems and threats to human health and the lack of effective mitigation require new approaches to mining regulation, including mountaintop mining with valley fills (MTM/VF), which is widespread throughout eastern Kentucky, West Virginia, and southwestern Virginia.
Book
Rare Earth Elements: The Global Supply Chain
TL;DR: The authors provides a discussion on the major issues and concerns of the global supply chain for rare earth elements, their major end uses, and legislative and other policy proposals that Congress may consider to improve the U.S. rare earth position.
Journal ArticleDOI
Global rare earth resources and scenarios of future rare earth industry
TL;DR: Wang et al. as mentioned in this paper pointed out that rare earth deposits are not that rare in the earth crust, and cautioned on the investment of rare earth production are involved, and there have been about 200 projects, and the total production for 25 of them would be more than 170 thousand tons.
