About

This comprehensive short course consists of three stand-alone modules each presented over two half days.  Participants in Modules 2 and 3 will be provided with a temporary license for ioGAS.

The course is designed for mineral exploration professionals and geology postgraduate students wanting continuing professional development in exploration and applied geochemistry.

The short courses involve lectures to introduce concepts but will be interspersed with short practical exercises to reinforce some of the strategies and methods.

Module 1 of the course would also be suitable for database professionals wishing to know more about the collection of geochemical data and the assessment of its quality, as well as for more seasoned geologists wishing to review recent advances in the collection, analysis, QA/QC and management of data.

The short course modules will be presented by Dr Dennis Arne, who has over 30 years’ experience in geology and applied geochemistry globally. Dennis has overseen regional geochemical exploration programs in the Yukon, Nunavut and northern Quebec in Canada, the USA, eastern Australia, Suriname, Sudan and Laos.

 

Professional Development hours per module:  7 Hours

(Participation in this event may contribute to meeting Continued

Professional Development (CPD) requirements of

professional institutes.)


Module 2 – Exploratory Data Analysis using ioGAS

This module will introduce a structured approach to both univariant and multivariant exploratory data analysis of geochemical data in ioGAS.  A key focus of the approach will be the attribution of geochemical data with a variety of metadata for process discovery. Participants will need to download a trial version of ioGAS a few days prior to the start of this module and will be provided with a temporary licence.

The first part of this module, on 22 September, will be immediately preceded by an optional one-hour session – Introduction to ioGAS – for those unfamiliar with the software.
