b'Geophysics in CSIRONewsCSIRO: Meet our new pint-sized powerhouse!Hailing from Canada, Rebecca (Becki) Montsion is most comfortable in a canoe, braving bears and mosquitoes while mapping remote wilderness. Becki joined the Potential Fields Geophysics team, part of the Ore Body Knowledge Group, within CSIRO Mineral Resources at Kensington in November 2022. She hopes to develop fresh approaches to mineral system science by bridging the gap between traditional geology and data science. Her previous work has focused on integration of airborne geophysics, petrophysics, geochemistry, and structural geology to map a range of terranes, from complex Archean greenstone belts to Quaternary landforms. Working in Archean and Proterozoic settings,Becki recording observations of sheared pillowed basalts in Kawashegamuk Lake near Dryden, Ontario, Canada.Becki gained expertise in magmatic Ni-Cu-PGE, volcanogenic Cu-Zn-PbAuGeological Survey of Canadas 3D Earthcreate a unified 3D crustal-scale model massive sulphide (VMS), orogenic Au,Modeling Group.
