Are you a student looking for a PhD project which combines the mathematics and computer science aspects of geological data fusion? http://www.csiro.au/partnerships/MDUFPostgradScholarships.html Topic: Data storage and analysis of diverse 4D geoscience data sets across the minerals industry. Supervisor: Dr Rob Woodcock, CSIRO, Perth, Australia Can you take a sparsely sampled space, with some closely sampled data in it (borehole data – sparse and close depending on the area) then try and mix the datasets with some seismic or some gravity or hyperspectral data. Apply (or create) interpolation techniques which can carry confidence metrics with it or classifiers with confidence metrics and then use the results to influence or aid decision making with a real geologist in the feedback loop? Its maths not for maths sake – but maths designed to boost understanding or aid in decision making, ultimately without the end users needing an in-depth understanding of the techniques. We would love to meet anyone who is interested. Please pass it on to anyone you feel it could apply to.
