About: The Australian Research Council’s (ARC) Industry Fellowships Program aims to create a pathway to support academic researchers in establishing careers in industry, and industry-based researchers to work in university settings, with the aim of increased two-way mobility and skill-building.
With industry partners Geological Survey of Western Australia (GSWA) and Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO), this project aims to improve our capability to image rocks under cover in Australia using multidisciplinary geophysical modelling.
Geographic scope: Research undertaken in Australia with global applications.
Aims:
Develop techniques for creating and integrating geophysically-acceptable models in undercover exploration scenarios.
Provide valuable insights into potential exploration outcomes and uncertainty reductions, leading to better-informed decision-making.
Freely available algorithms to be used by practitioners in Australia, the imaging of multiple areas of interest for mineral exploration in Western Australia, local capacity building and the training of PhD students at the University of Western Australia.
Project focus:
Develop and integrate specifically-designed new geophysical modelling techniques for potential field data whilst incorporating geological principles to generate collections of subsurface models.
