The Geological Survey of NSW (GSNSW), NSW Branch of the AIG and NSW Branch of the GSA are pleased to offer a practical core logging workshop and Hylogging course. These two days of geoscience education are specifically targeted at early career geoscientists, many of whom may be suffering from reduced employment in the current industry downturn. Late career geoscientists may register to attend the workshop, but if it is oversubscribed, then preference will be given to early career geoscientists.
Both days will be held at the WB Clarke Geoscience Centre at Londonderry (see map).
The two days have distinctive objectives and participants may register for either day or for both days. Both days have attendance limits.
The geoscience societies have agreed to provide financial assistance to eligible members. Please contact your society branch representatives for further information.
Wednesday 18th May
This workshop is a series of talks and practical exercises in logging core.
It is aimed at recent graduates/early career geologists and will cover; the basics of drill site operations, litho-stratigraphic logging, describing mineralised core, and sampling practices.
The workshop includes hands-on exercises in logging cores from the library collection, as well as viewing core under the guidance of the presenters.
Thursday 19th May
HyLogging is a tool to rapidly and consistently log the mineralogy in drill core using infrared spectroscopy. This one-day, hands-on course will describe the concepts and skills of traditional industry core logging and demonstrate the benefit of using HyLogger data to empower geologists and improve core logging. The aim is to compare and contrast what the eye observes and what the HyLogger ‘sees’, to arrive at a more objective and standardised interpretation. TSG-Core software will be used for the data analysis and licences will be provided for the day.
