The Geological Survey of Victoria (GSV) and the Victorian Branch of the AIG are pleased to offer a core logging workshop. The course is specifically targeted at early career geoscientists. Late career geoscientists may register to attend the seminar, but if it is oversubscribed preference will be given to early career geoscientists.
The course consists of a series of talks and practical exercises and will cover the basics of drill site operations, litho-stratigraphic logging, describing mineralised core, and sampling practices. The seminar includes hands-on exercises in logging cores from the library collection, as well as viewing core under the guidance of the presenters. Registration is now open. Please check the AIG website.
