- The energy‐extractives nexus and the just transition (2021, background): “Lower grades can also result in larger amounts of mine waste and a markedly larger mine footprint (Mudd, 2010).”
- A Detailed Assessment of Global Rare Earth Element Resources: Opportunities and Challenges (2015, background): “Declining ore grades, increasing energy costs, and the increasing awareness of the social and environmental impacts associated with mining and processing have raised significant concerns within and outside of the global mining industry (e.g., Mudd, 2010a, b; Banks, 2013).”
- The world's by-product and critical metal resources part III: A global assessment of indium (2017, methodology): “…range in size from giant and supergiant to small deposits (Hitzman et al., 2010), although the former have so far only been discovered in three areas: the Zambian or Katangan Copperbelt, the Kupferschiefer of central Europe, and the Kodaro-Udokan Basin of Siberia (Hitzman et al., 2005, 2010).”
- Sustainability and the circular economy: A theoretical approach focused on e-waste urban mining (2019, unknown): “Mudd (2010) also argues for considering the bene fi ts of the mining industry as a whole and not only one segment of the sector: “ It is the sum of all individual mines over time and space and their respective resources, impacts and bene fi ts, which should be considered in as-cribing sustainability…”
- Global Patterns of Material Flows and their Socio-Economic and Environmental Implications: A MFA Study on All Countries World-Wide from 1980 to 2009 (2014, background): “Various renewable resources are extracted at a much faster rate than what our global ecosystem can regenerate [1], while proceeding extraction of non-renewable resources requires increasingly extensive ways to obtain them, implicating higher environmental burden [2].”
