The BCGS is exited to formally announce our upcoming 2024 symposium titled “Applications in Seismic Methods for Mining Exploration and Engineering“.
The focus of this year’s BCGS Symposium will be on development and applications in seismic methods for mineral exploration and mining engineering. Presentation topics will focus on advanced seismic reflection technology (e.g. HD3D surveys) applied to mineral exploration projects, small scale seismic surveys for shallow engineering investigations (e.g. tailings designs), seismic ambient noise tomography (ANT) for shallow overburden and bedrock structural/alteration mapping and passive seismic monitoring used to assist engineers during active mining operations. The symposium aligns with the goals of the BCGS to promote geophysics and geoscience education in BC.
In addition to a busy program of 12 presentations by industry leading explorationists, engineers and academics, there will be information booths set up by leading companies to facilitate more direct interaction with the speakers and with industry professionals.
Companies being represented include HiSeis, Fleet Space Technologies, Sisprobe, Teck Resources, BHP, Viridien (CGG), Axiom Group, ESG Solutions, SmartSolo and Frontier Geosciences.
Lunch and snacks are included in the registration fee.
Target Audience: Geophysicists, geologists, engineers and all exploration and mining professionals.
Speakers:
- Nick Arndt (Caur Technologies & Universite Grenoble Alpes)
- Darren Burrows (Fleet Space Technologies)
- Dan Hollis (Sisprobe SAS & IGGP/SIO University of California San Diego)
