马萨诸塞州剑桥哈佛自然历史博物馆黄金展11月12日开幕：11月12日晚6时设开幕讲座，馆藏矿物标本逾10万件
马萨诸塞州剑桥市报道 — 哈佛大学矿物学与地质学博物馆（MGMH）专题展《金：源头发掘》（Au: Origins Unearthed）定于11月12日在哈佛自然历史博物馆开幕，追踪黄金自形成它的地质力量、解码其源头的科学研究，一路到今天六位珠宝设计师的工作室。
据博物馆新闻稿，展览的科学核心是哈佛的 TraceFor Gold 项目：这是一个国际法证研究计划，利用激光剥蚀电感耦合等离子体质谱与人工智能建立黄金的地球化学指纹数据库，终极目标是把黄金、包括被查获的非法物料，追溯回其源头。该研究由 MGMH 馆员拉克尔·阿隆索-佩雷斯（Raquel Alonso-Perez）博士领导，与巴西联邦警察、世界自然基金会巴西分会及巴西利亚大学合作，并延伸至非法采金所用汞的同位素分析。展品包括 MGMH 馆藏黄金标本、该项目的数据可视化，以及由阿隆索-佩雷斯与梅拉妮·格兰特（Melanie Grant）共同挑选的珠宝设计师作品，参展者包括皮帕·斯莫尔（Pippa Small）、马拉·亚伦（Marla Aaron）、迈克·约瑟夫（Mike Joseph）、Omi Woods、乌特·德克尔（Ute Decker）与丹尼尔·布拉什（Daniel Brush），另有 PeaceGold 参与。
开幕活动于11月12日晚6时至7时30分举行，含环境化学教授埃尔西·桑德兰（Elsie M. Sunderland）关于亚马孙河流非法采金汞污染的讲座与一场专题讨论，其后晚7时30分至9时在地球与行星科学展厅设招待会，须提前报名，可现场或在线参加。博物馆位于牛津街26号。新闻稿称，MGMH 馆藏矿物、宝石、陨石与岩石标本逾10万件。
Gold Exhibition Opens November 12 at Harvard Museum of Natural History in Cambridge, Massachusetts: Opening Lecture at 6 p.m. on November 12, Museum Holds More Than 100,000 Specimens
CAMBRIDGE, Massachusetts — Au: Origins Unearthed, an Exhibit Spotlight from Harvard University's Mineralogical and Geological Museum (MGMH), opens November 12 at the Harvard Museum of Natural History, following gold from the geological forces that formed it, through the scientific research that decodes its origins, to the studios of six visionary jewelers working today.
According to the museum, the exhibition draws at its scientific core on Harvard's TraceFor Gold project, an international forensic research program that uses laser ablation inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry and artificial intelligence to build a geochemical fingerprint database of gold, with the goal of tracing gold, including seized illegal material, back to its origin. The research is led by MGMH curator Dr. Raquel Alonso-Perez in collaboration with the Brazilian Federal Police, WWF Brazil and the University of Brasília, and now extends to measuring the isotopic composition of mercury in gold. On display are gold specimens from the MGMH collection, data visualisations from the project, and jewels by designers selected by Alonso-Perez and co-curator Melanie Grant: Pippa Small, Marla Aaron, Mike Joseph, Omi Woods, Ute Decker and Daniel Brush, with PeaceGold also taking part.
The opening program on November 12, from 6:00 to 7:30 p.m., in person and online, begins with a lecture by Professor Elsie M. Sunderland on mercury contamination from illegal gold mining in Amazonian rivers, followed by a panel discussion and a reception in the Earth and Planetary Sciences Gallery from 7:30 to 9:00 p.m., with advance registration required. The museum is at 26 Oxford Street. The museum says the MGMH holds more than 100,000 mineral, gem, meteorite and rock specimens.
