Using machine learning to estimate a key missing geochemical variable in mining exploration: application of the Random Forest algorithm to multi-sensor core logging data (Schnitzler et al., 2019)
A big difference between applied geochemistry and machine is the terminology, but once you start to chip away at this, like Britt, you will realize that the two disciplines are not so different.

2023-12-131h 37GeOCHemISTea3D modeling for the geochem curious with Julia OliveiraWe always talk about fluids in geochemistry. How the ore metals are moving and how they are depositing - we think in pressure-temperature-redox space.
However, when we get our geology, structure and geochemistry in 3D... and then we start to rotate a model for the first time... it is the most rewarding moment because we see the fluid pathway and why our metals have deposited.
Nothing, perhaps, in exploration geochemistry is more rewarding then spinning a 3D model. I've paraphrased myself from this interview here, but I hope everyone listening finds a friend in Julia...

But then Dave often likes to tell geologists and especially mining engineers that "rocks don't give a shit to what we think of them. They're just rocks. They're just gonna sit there and be like, all right, whatever guys. I'm a rock."
And as for why you won't see Dave penning a book on his career... "because it with be complete utter bullshit." That's hindsight bias for you.

Perhaps more interesting that the foundation of Datarock is built on Aussie rules football is some of the advice that Brenton Crawford, one of the the company's founders has to impart: that we can get distracted by what we 'need' from a university in order to get the geoscience job we want.

And for those that have questions about the business of consulting... his tea has some hard numbers.

2022-10-051h 14GeOCHemISTeaBridging Classical Geochemistry and Geochemistry in Data Science with Mike WhitbreadFor this episode we had a squiz at: "Mineral Geochemistry Vectoring: Uncovering Northwest Queensland’s Hidden Potential" (Steadman et al., 2021), "Improving geological logging of drill holes using geochemical data and data analytics for mineral exploration in the Gawler Ranges, South Australia" (Hill et al., 2021), and the tutorials on the Mineral Mapping website.
There's a role for classical geochemistry (bivariate plots, probability plots, etc.) to play, but the future is moving towards a data science approach to geochemical data. Come listen to Mike's take on where geochemistry in industry is heading and where it still needs to shift.

2022-09-0514 minGeOCHemISTeaBuilding Geochemistry Diagrams with Pim van GeffenFor this episode we read: "A User's Guide to Basalt Discrimination Diagrams" by Pearce (1996).
Surely you have seen a geochemical diagram before... Winchester and Floyd (1977) for the classification of volcanic rocks or even Pearce's 1996 diagram to classify basalts. Have you combed the literature to find the most fit-for-purpose diagram for your own rock samples? Look no further! In this discussion with Pim van Geffen we talk about how to use the principles outlined in this book chapter to create your own diagrams.

GeOCHemISTeaPGE, Cr & crystal mushes with Jason CoumansFor this episode we read: "Rapid crystallization of precious-metal-mineralized layers in mafic magmatic systems" (Hepworth et al., 2020).
What does a computational geochemist and igneous petrologist do? Apparently, they think a lot on crystal mushes and bifurcation. Seeing mafic magmatic PGE and Cr systems from an igneous petrology perspective has its benefits and there's something in this episode for everyone interested in these systems. Separately, we also asked about his views on predatory scientific journals and their implications for geoscientists and researchers.

Tom is the Chief Data Scientist at Datarock and we spent a long time at the beginning of this episode talking about the fields of mathematical and computational geology, particularly from the perspective of someone at the university level that is interested in getting into these fields. The rest of the show is about Tom losing his membership to the AGU and a lot of Q&A o...
2022-06-081h 06GeOCHemISTeaTechniques and the Art of Making Geochemistry Maps with German OjedaFor this episode we read: "Geochemical mapping: technique or art" (Reinmann, 2005).
When preparing this episode, German immediately gravitated to the concept that all geoscientists can be geochemists AND that all geochemists should be good geoscientists. In this episode we explore how the basic principles of survey design lead to the generation of meaningful geochemical summary outputs, e.g., maps, that can help exploration teams make decisions.
2022-05-0942 minGeOCHemISTeaGeochemistry in the Carlin with Simon GriffithsFor this episode we read: "The Oil-Bearing, Carlin-Type Gold Deposits of Yankee Basin, Alligator Ridge District, Nevada" (Hulen & Collister, 1999).
Our chat ranges from lithogeochemistry to isotopes to pathfinder elements in the Carlin (Nevada) with Simon Griffiths. More interesting, let's see his path from a young Welsh structural geologist to the proprietor and principal consultant of 3PXS, a UK-based economic geology and geochemistry consulting firm.

In The Moment podcast103. David Laskin with Steve Scher: What Sammy KnewThe 1970s were as turbulent as the 1960s were radical.

On New Year's Eve 1969, Sam is forced to come face to face with the uncomfortable truths about his place and privilege in the world. In conversation with Chief Correspondent Steve Scher, Laskin discusses his debut novel and the connections that can be made to the time we're living through now. D...

Hog PlanetEpisode 10- Cork Barrel LegislationDonald Trump Jr. ruined all of our appetites by posting a picture of himself with an eerie melted candle named Ted Cruz and a distorted Obama cookie.

Sorry folks, but we’re talking politics today. Doug Jones and Ralph Northam revealed themselves to be sniveling swine, selling out their voter bases seemingly overnight. We’ll talk about the failures of the centrist Democrat and rip on a truly heinous article written by Bill...
