An opportunity to discuss the latest ideas in mineral exploration geoscience in an informal setting. Join us at Julio's - Sage Hotel in West Perth, Thursday 27 July 2017 from 7am.

The 14th Biennial SGA Meeting will be held in Québec City, Canada, in August 2017. The Organizing Committee has designed an outstanding scientific program and social activities to make your visit in the capital of Québec a very interesting experience in science and a discovery to remember. The Meeting will be held at the Québec City Convention Centre.

This workshop will explore the basics of 3D geological modelling and uncertainty analysis using implicit modelling codes. Workshop participants will have the opportunity to see these techniques applied to the 3D geology of a complexly deformed terrain. The transfer of geological uncertainty into geophysical inversion codes will be presented as an example of transferring knowledge on uncertainty to downstream applications.

This workshop will introduce industry, government and research end-users to the latest developments in 3D geological modelling and inversion, with particular reference to new workflows that enable us to characterise and analyse geological uncertainty in 3D. The workshop will introduce the basics of 3D geological modelling and uncertainty analysis using implicit modelling codes. Workshop participants will have the opportunity to use first-hand these techniques applied to the 3D geology of a complexly deformed terrain. The transfer of geological uncertainty into geophysical inversion codes will be presented as an example of using knowledge on uncertainty to downstream applications.

Understanding the dynamics of the continental crust, mantle lithosphere and their interaction with the asthenosphere is fundamental for explaining the evolution of the Australian continent and the processes that led to its formation and todays state. Continental lithosphere geodynamics stands as an intriguing and controversial issue and currently represents a barrier in expanding our understanding of how the Earth evolved through time. The remarkable progress in the acquisition of geological, geophysical and petro-chemical data for the continental lithosphere around the globe brings us to a third round of Lithosphere Workshops.

The conference aims to bring together the research community in structural geology and tectonics within Australia and internationally to discuss the latest research and developments in these fields.
