Please pass on the following message and the attached to geophysicists or geologists interesting in brushing up on the basics, or filling in gaps. (to see the attached link you might have to click on the link at the bottom of the page and log onto the SEGMIN site) Modular Course in Exploration Geophysics December 4-13, 2019 Presented by the Harquail School of Earth Sciences (HES) and Mineral Exploration Research Centre (MERC) of Laurentian University Course Description: 10-day intensive course in geophysical methods as they are applied to mineral exploration is being offered by the Harquail School of Earth Sciences (HES) and the Mineral Exploration Research Centre (MERC) at Laurentian University. The course will be classroom based with lectures in the morning and early afternoon and laboratory exercises in the late afternoon. Topics to be covered include the physical properties of rocks and how these can be inferred from geophysical data. The role that geophysics plays in mineral exploration programs will also be discussed. The course is structured such that each day will cover one of the methods used in mineral exploration. In each case, the material will be presented by an academic or industry person who is an expert in that method. The specific methods covered are gravity methods, magnetic methods, electrical and induced polarization methods, electromagnetic methods, gamma-ray spectrometry, reflection seismology, borehole methods and airborne methods. There will also be talks from industry representatives discussing the importance of geophysical methods in exploration, and how borehole EM is used in the search and delineation of conductive ore. The final day will be a presentation by staff from the Ontario Geological Survey on the role that public domain data can have in the mineral exploration process. A regional interpretation of public domain data will also be undertaken. The course does not rely heavily in mathematics, but attempts to impart an understanding of the basic scientific principles. There is a strong emphasis on case studies and laboratory exercises. Course Format: lectures, laboratory practicals, and problem sets. For industry participants the labs and problem sets are voluntary. NEW 2019! Lectures are presented in the Executive Learning Centre, room FA 386. This year we have the capability of industry participants participating in the lectures and asking questions via internet videoconference (zoom). It is not possible to do the labs/problems sets in this manner. Course Coordinator: Dr Richard Smith (Harquail School of Earth Sciences/MERC). Course Costs for Professional participants: CDN$2750.00 (CDN) + 13% GST for the entire course (including all digital course notes, materials etc) or CDN$300.00 + 13% GST per day for individual course days (including relevant course notes). For more details see the registration form (see Registration section below for how to request a registration form). Companies can share a course registration amongst multiple staff. Discuss with Roxane Mehes, contact details below. Course notes: Colour digital images of all presentations will be provided in Adobe pdf format. All participants are responsible for their own travel, lodging, and meals.
