Dear all,
The Australian Geoscience Council Convention 2018 will be held in Adelaide, Australia, from the 14-18 October 2018. We would like to invite you to submit an abstract to our sub-theme 4.7 The National Virtual Core Library, which will be run as part of Theme 4 Applied Geosciences in the 21st Century – innovation, technology and the future. Please see below this Email for details of this session.
Both oral and poster presentations are welcome and the deadline for abstracts is the 16.06.2018. Details about the abstract guidelines can be found on https://www.agcc.org.au/abstracts.
We're looking forward to seeing you in Adelaide.
Your session conveners,
Georgina Gordon (GSSA) & Carsten Laukamp (CSIRO)
Session Details:
The characterisation of mineral assemblages is amongst the first steps for describing and analysing mineral systems. The identification of lithologies and alteration footprints usually starts with time consuming core logging next to drill rigs or in drill core sheds across the world. Notwithstanding the geological expertise, the results of visual logging can be very subjective and are difficult to use for decision making, let alone in a quantitative way for resource characterisation. Numerous drill core sensing technologies have been developed over the past decade that provide objective drill core information.
The symposium is organised by the National Virtual Core Library (NVCL), which is part of AuScope’s national earth science infrastructure program (http://www.auscope.org.au/nvcl/). The prime objective of the NVCL has been to provide internet access to the vast resource of geological information from the upper 1 – 2 km of our Earth’s crust that is stored in drill core libraries and core sheds across Australia. The NVCL has driven the development of hyperspectral drill core sensing technologies and delivery of the drill core data to the research community and resources sector via AuScope’s data infrastructure and Discovery Portal (http://www.auscope.org.au/auscope-grid/), and comprises close to 1000 km of hyperspectral drill core data from various geological environments and mineral deposit types across the Australian continent with continuing acquisition.
This symposium invites contributions that 1) demonstrate the integration of geochemical, petrophysical and mineralogical drill core data, 2) further routine textural analysis, and 3) showcase the latest developments of new drill core sensing technologies.
