Discipline: Geology/Geophysics
Level: Junior to Advanced
Instructor: Dr. Erik Scott
Length: 1 Day
Who Should Attend
Geologists, geophysicists, and engineers who are working on subsurface issues.
YOU WILL LEARN
- The range of different data types that geoscientists work with
- How to relate data at different scales to geological questions at varying scales
- Understanding of the related uncertainty to applying data from one scale to geology at a different scale
ABOUT THE COURSE
The geosciences deal with data and systems at various scales that cross over a magnitude of order or greater, from planetary to pore space. Recognition of the scale of the data/system you are working on and its relationship to other data/systems at a different scale is integral in constructing robust geological models. This one day course will look at the variation of different systems at the same scale as well as the variation of the same system at different scales. Participants are encouraged to provide data from the project that are currently working on to understand the scale of their datasets, how the systems are related and engage in discussions on possible ways to integrate them together to build a geological model.
