Welcome: Geoscience Australia’s Minerals program: an UNCOVER overview

Theme 1: Cover

Towards a national cover thickness map using data mining: a model-based predication of cover thickness.
Airborne electromagnetic (AEM) – cover thickness, cover character, advanced processing, interpretations and case study exemplars.
Geophysics applied to variable cover: benchmarking multiple methods to known depths.

Theme 2: Architecture

The magnetotelluric method to map near surface to deep lithosphere: case studies and new developments.
The seismic database of Australia: a continent in cross section.
Bringing it all together: The Australian Architecture Reference Model (AusARM).

Theme 3: Geodynamics and mineral system evolution

Australia through time: the U-Pb database of Australia, ASUD, GA’s geochronology capability.
Mineral systems as an area selection method at the national and regional scales: examples of magmatic
Ni-PGE, IOCG and salt lakes.
Isotope geochemistry to map architecture and fertility: Sm-Nd, Pb and Hf.

Theme 4: Footprints and toolkits

Update in regional stratigraphic drilling projects: Stavely and Thomson.
Lowering the entry level to big data and big compute: the Virtual Geophysical Laboratory and its future
development.
