Throughout the last week, I had the privilege of attending the Camp for Applied Geophysics Excellence (CAGE) 2024, an exceptional opportunity to further immerse myself in the field of geophysics and forge valuable connections with professionals across the geosciences! The camp, held across various locations in Western Australia over seven days, was structured to provide a balanced experience across all stages of geophysical work - acquisition, processing, and interpretation of geophysical data. We spent two days in the field at the Forrestania EM test range, approximately 85 km east of Hyden, where we collected datasets using magnetotellurics (MT), magnetic, gravity, and electromagnetic (EM) methods. This hands-on experience was invaluable for gaining practical insight into how data from different geophysical methods is acquired. The following two days focused on data processing and modelling, utilising software such as Geoscience Analyst, Oasis Montaj, EMpower, Maxwell, and various Python libraries. Here, we learned how to transform raw geophysical data into meaningful models, with an emphasis on quality control and the importance of accurate data acquisition in the field. The final two days were dedicated to group-based interpretation of the geophysical models, integrating known geological data (maps and drill holes) alongside geophysical datasets from previous years, some of which spanned different spatial scales. Based on our interpretations, we proposed additional geophysical studies and potential drilling locations. I would like to extend my sincere thanks to the convenors and demonstrators of CAGE 2024 - Kate Selway, Mikayla Sambrooks, Michael Hatch, Teagan Blaikie, Tom Harding, Mareen Lösing, Lu Li, and James Reid - for their time, expertise, and guidance throughout this invaluable experience. I would also like to express my gratitude to the sponsors of #CAGE24 and the Australian Society of Exploration Geophysicists (ASEG) for their support in facilitating such impactful programs. Thank you also to the Institute of Mine Seismology for supporting my attendance to this program. For anyone working or studying within the geosciences, I highly recommend this program. It offers an excellent opportunity to enhance your geophysical skills while building lasting connections within the industry. #Geophysics #Geoscience #EarthScience #CAGE #CAGE24 #CAGE2024 #ASEG #GeophysicalEducation #STEM

Estamos buscando a una persona entusiasta que hable español para que se una a nuestro grupo de sismología minera en Ottawa, Ontario. Si tienes pasión por resolver problemas y analizar datos interesantes, revisa esto: https://lnkd.in/gJ6gfabB

Did you know… Recent changes to Regulation 854 (Mines and Mining Plants) of the Ontario Ministry of Labour, Immigration, Training and Skills Development can impact your mine. According to the new legislation, all underground mines are required to develop and maintain a written Seismic Risk Management Plan (SRMP). The primary objectives of this plan are to:   1. Identify the level of seismic hazard at the mine, or parts of the mine 2. Set out how microseismic activity will be monitored If you think this legislation might affect you, reach out to IMS to learn how we can help. From assistance with putting your SRMP together, or running a low-cost, temporary, seismic system to quantify your seismic activity levels, we are here to help you meet and exceed the seismic legal requirements at your site. #seismichazard #minesafety #inducedseismicity https://lnkd.in/gHQQ8CBd
