Lesson topics:
MODULE 2 – METHODS AND TOOLS – Online lectures and practicals – intensive delivery
Identify, integrate and process relevant data to produce models, carry out analysis and visualization with an emphasis on reproducibility and reporting outcomes. Datasets will focus on mineral exploration or mining-related problems.
MODULE 3 – COLLABORATION, INTERPRETATION AND COMMUNICATION –
Online self-directed & collaborative self-paced learning
Using a variety of geoscience datasets and working both individually and in groups, students will carry out a series of data analyses to, for example, identify prospective areas in mineral exploration environment, or predict rock properties around a mine. Students will be required to integrate their analyses and findings in small groups and contribute to an online seminar.
Matthew Cracknell is a Lecturer and Researcher at CODES. He is an expert in geoscience data analysis, modelling and visualisation.
Guest presenters for the course will be confirmed soon.
