Magnetotellurics for Regional and Local Exploration
The talk will present a number of case studies from around the world showing the application of MT surveys at lithospheric, district and locals scales.
Shane Evans has a BSc (Hons) in Geophysics from Curtin University and a MSc (Geology and Geological Engineering) from Queens University (Kingston, Ontario). After gaining his MSc in 2003, Shane moved to Johannesburg, South Africa to work in the DeBeers Geoscience Centre. During his time at DeBeers, Shane researched the use of magnetotellurics for crustal and lithospheric mapping throughout Southern Africa, India and Canada.
In 2005 Shane set up Moombarriga Geoscience in Perth, with the aim to become a specialist MT geophysical contractor. In 2008 Moombarriga purchased 4 Phoenix recorders and acquired its first commercial MT dataset for KUTH Energy, Tasmania.
Since that time Moombarriga Geoscience has acquired over 3,000 MT sites for both energy and mineral interests; the client list includes universities, government geological surveys, exploration companies and energy companies throughout Australia and the world.
