b'Geophysics in CSIRONewsCSIRO: New appointment to the Potential Fields Team in the Mineral Resources GroupGiovanni Spampinato has joined the Potential Fields Team in CSIROs Mineral Resources Group as a Senior Research Geoscientist.Giovanni is an experienced geophysicist with a project management background. His expertise includes processing and interpretation of geological and geophysical data, 3D modelling and inversion, and large data management for mineral exploration, resource evaluation and targeting. After obtaining his MSc in structural geology at the University of Rome La Sapienza, and his licence in engineering geology at Carlo Bo University in Urbino (Italy), Giovanni started his career as an engineering geologist in 2004.
