Overview

The unit aims to teach the skills required to visualise and analyse (multivariate statistics) geological, geochemical and geophysical data in 3D, build 3D geological models, build property models (similar to resource estimation) and visualise and extract information from digital outcrop models. The units will expose you to industry-standard software packages such as R, Orange, Gocad, Leapfrog Geo, Geomodeller, Geoscience Analyst.
