Geophysics in Geothermal Energy – Today and Tomorrow

12–14 October 2021 | Virtual Workshop

ASEG is pleased to announce its collaboration with SEG for the highly anticipated Geophysics in Geothermal Energy – Today and Tomorrow workshop is up on our website. Be a part of this highly-anticipated virtual event that will be taking place from 12–14 October. This provides us the opportunity to provide all ASEG Members to ATTEND virtually with an interactive an immersive experience and the ability to connect with like-minded individuals from across the globe.

ASEG members receive a special discounted price of $US320. In order to benefit from the above rates, they should contact Suba Jaganathan on sjaganathan@seg.org.

Our technical committee has created a special workshop that branches out into specific topics that run parallel to each other, thus attendees can curate and choose the session they would like to view. A recording will also be available within 24 hours for attendees to re-watch any session they have missed, thus providing an enriching and wholesome experience throughout the workshop. We encourage anyone involved in geoscience or geothermal resource exploration to join in on this informative conversation: seismic processers, petrophysicists, rock physicists, geologists, geophysicists, geomechanicists and reservoir engineers.

Title: Crustal resistivity of the Mt Gambier subprovince: origins of the Newer Volcanics and implications for exploration in the Western Otway

Presenter: Sam Jennings

Location: Thomas Cooper Room, Coopers Alehouse, 316 Pulteney St, Adelaide

Date: Tuesday 5th October 2021

Time: 5:30 pm for a 6:15 pm start

Cost: Members and students free, non-members $10, includes finger food and drinks

Abstract:

The westernmost Mt Gambier subprovince of southeast Australia's Newer Volcanics Province represent the most recent eruptions of a continental, intraplate volcanic province. Recent magnetotelluric (MT) models in the wider region reveal an extensive conductor beneath Central Victoria as well as a separate, crustally-bound region of low resistivity beneath the Mt Gambier subprovince. To better resolve this western conductor, 49 new broadband MT sites are collected at 25 km spacing and crustal resistivity is modelled using the latest 3D inversion algorithms. An extensive region of low resistivity (<100 Ω m) is revealed and interpreted as the footprint of rising magmatic fluids that cause widespread alteration of Delamerian crust. Spatial alignment of this feature with step-like sub-lithospheric topography lend credence to theories of edge-driven convection and shear-driven upwelling as causal mechanisms for melt generation. A localised zone of even lower resistivity (< 10 Ω m) in the mid-crust beneath the town of Casterton, Victoria is interpreted as small amounts of partial melt. In this presentation, I'll discuss the origins of the NVP, the role of complex basement structures in providing fluid pathways and the implications of a distal melt source for exploration in the Western Otway Basin.

We have a new webinar on Wednesday 23 March, 4pm AEDT NT is bringing you a talk by Teagan Blaikie and Helen McFarlane of CSIRO on Interpreting high-resolution aeromagnetic data to aid mapping undercover and structural analysis of the Tanami Region and northwest Aileron Province.

Title: Searching for the Beaumont Children and Other Adventures in Unmarked Grave Detection

Presenter: Dr Ian Moffat

Date: Tuesday 2nd June 12:30 pm AEST

Abstract:

The reliable detection of unmarked graves is one of the most important challenges faced by community groups, industry and law enforcement agencies. Burials are ubiquitous in the archaeological and forensic record however these features are challenging to locate with conventional techniques. Geophysical methods are often used for this purpose due to their non-invasive nature and rapid site coverage however graves remain a difficult target due to their subtle response and small size. This presentation reviews a number of grave detection projects, including the search for the Beaumont Children and mapping WWII graves from the Battle of Tarawa, to discuss current best practice in this field.

Bio:

Ian Moffat is an ARC DECRA Senior Research Fellow in Archaeological Science at Flinders University where he undertakes research in the application of earth science techniques in archaeology. He has previously held research positions at the University of Cambridge and the Institute for Mediterranean Studies. Ian holds a PhD from the ANU and a BA and BSc (Hons) from UQ. In addition to his academic career he has worked at Ecophyte Technologies, Precipice Training and Archaeometry Pty Ltd.

Date: Tuesday, 24 March

Time: 6:00pm

Location: via Zoom videoconference
