Subject: Session on magnetic applications to mineral industry
Dear Colleague,
You are cordially invited to participate in Session SE28-03
"Magnetic measurements in oil and mineral exploration" which will be part
of the EGS meeting to be held in Nice, France, April 25-29, 2000.
The deadline for submission of abstracts is December 15, 1999
See EGS webpage for guidelines:
http://www.copernicus.org/EGS/egsga/nice00/nice00.htm
The description of the meeting is given in the attachment and reproduced
below. It's aim is to highlight the latest developments in the application
of magnetic methods to oil and mineral exploration, by bringing together
paleo- and rock magnetists, oxide petrologists, and applied geophysicists
concerned with the interpretation of magnetic and aeromagnetic data.
Please contact me if you are interested in participating or need further
information.
Henry Halls, convenor.

Description of Session:
Magnetic measurements in oil and mineral exploration.
This session solicits papers on new applications of aeromagnetic, high
permeability electromagnetic, paleomagnetic, petrophysical and magnetic
mineralogical studies to the exploration of economic deposits. High
resolution aeromagnetic/EM surveys allow differentiation of physical
properties both within and between geological bodies. With increasingly
greater resolution in aeromagnetic surveys, combined with the high
sensitivity of paleomagnetic and routine petrophysical measurements,
accurate interpretation of aeromagnetic data over terranes with
magnetizations spanning many orders of magnitude are now possible.
Economically favourable geological structures and faults have been
accurately mapped, even if they are entirely within weakly magnetic
sedimentary rocks. In areas of secondary alteration, aeromagnetic,
magnetic property and mineralogical studies may throw light on the
nature, timing and extent of fluid migration associated with petroleum
and ore deposits.
