Geochemistry – Vectoring to Mineralisation workshop

21-22 August 2015, 8am to 4.30pm
UNSW

The objective of the seminar and workshop is to focus on the practical application of geochemical methods and understanding the nature of geochemical processes in the field. We have pulled together experienced presenters in their specialist fields to discuss and run practical sessions on a range of geochemical and related data interpretation topics.

• There will be a mix of introductory and more theoretical material demonstrating underlying principles and methods of data interpretation based on illustrative case studies using a variety of geochemical methods and approaches.
• Presentations and practical workshop examples will highlight methods of making observations, sample collection and interpretation strategies within a wide range of regolith and field settings at continental, regional to local scale.
• The importance of integration of geochemical data with geophysical and geological information will be highlighted as a means of interpreting field geochemistry.
• Field and laboratory sampling and splitting methods, sample processing, issues related to QA/QC, use of standards, blanks and similar matters will be discussed.
• Application, advantages and limitations on the use of pXRF and other field portable equipment will be presented.
