I continue to thoroughly enjoy specifically Richard Lane Scholarship: learning about, and applying my knowledge of, geophysics and I aspire to someday make outstanding contributions to The winner of the inaugural Richard Lane Scholarship is Zakthe field of geophysics; much like Richard Lane. Aside from Weidinger from University of Tasmania School of Naturalits use for the natural world, I find geophysics to be a diverse Sciences, Earth Sciences. Zak is undertaking an Honours degreeand fascinating field in which there is great potential for utility in geophysics and is to be awarded $5,000. Zaks supervisors areand development.

The Royal George legacy tin mine closed in 1923 and has been leaching acid and metalliferous drainage, with the notable inclusion of elevated Uranium, since. To characterise the internal flow-paths within the tailings I am using frequency-domain electromagnetics, gamma ray spectrometry, seismic refraction tomography, ground penetrating radar, electrical resistivity imaging and induced polarisation. These methods are accurately repeated to achieve time-lapse models and image change.Why Zak is studying geophysics (~200 word discussion): I am studying geophysics because I believe it to be an invaluable tool for many different disciplines as well as a fascinating field in its own right. I am passionate about both geophysics and the natural world and see geophysics as a currently underused tool for gaining insight into environmental issues in a non-invasive manner. This is why I chose to use geophysics to investigate AMD leaching for my Honours project. Zak WeidingerExploration Geophysics Special Issue: Call for papersWe are delighted to announce a special issue of the ASEGs technical journal Exploration Geophysics, entitled Lithospheric to deposit scale magnetotellurics advancements including AusLAMP in Australia.We invite you to submit your expressions of interest to the Special Editors by 31 August, 2021. Accepted expressions of interest will be due for submission to Exploration Geophysics by 31 March, 2022.Scope of issueAlthough the magnetotelluric (MT) technique was first used in Australia in the 1960s, it has only been widely adopted by academia, government, and industry over the last two decades, bolstered by the realisation of its important role in mineral and energy exploration undercover.To date, there are many MT surveys and associated innovations across Australia. The national MT programme - Australian Lithospheric Architecture Magnetotelluric Project (AusLAMP), which is half way to covering the continent, has revealed major insights into the tectonic evolution and mineral systems of Australia, and inspired subsequent infill-surveys for further investigations.This special issue invites papers that focus on MT studies in Australia, including but not limited to applications in resource exploration, modeling/inversion, interpretation, innovations, and representative case studies.Special editorsKate Robertson Kate.Robertson2@sa.gov.auGraham Heinson Graham.Heinson@adelaide.edu.auJingming Duan Jingming.Duan@ga.gov.au59 PREVIEW OCTOBER 2021'
