从现场到实验室，您将在本课程中获得的知识将有助于推动诸如石油勘探或矿物勘探等领域的进步。本课程为有意升级地质学资格或进入地球科学新分支的专业人员提供高级技术培训。这可以通过参加讲座，研讨会和小组讨论，以及准备和提交基于论文的研究项目来实现。本课程的每个专业均包括核心单元以及地质和相关学科的可选单元。请注意，单元可用性通常仅限于特定的学期，这可能会影响您选择每个单元的顺序。您将专门研究盆地分析和石油地质学或矿物勘探与采矿地质学。通常，您将与行业或政府合作伙伴合作，完成与您的信息流相关的受监管项目。
Geologists study how the Earth works, including processes that have a major impact on our current and future wellbeing, such as the formation of geological resources, natural hazards, climate change and the movements of contaminants and pollutants through soil and rock. <br><br>Geologists locate and advise on the extraction of minerals, petroleum and groundwater. They are also involved in detecting and monitoring natural disasters such as earthquakes, landslides and floods.<br><br>This course offers detailed knowledge of mining geology and mineral systems. You'll learn about the principal types of ore deposits, the fundamentals of mineral exploration, geochemical processes, collecting and displaying geophysical data and resource estimation, among other topics. You'll also complete a supervised project related to mineral exploration and mining geology.<br><br>From the field to the lab, the knowledge you'll gain in this course will help you drive advancements in mineral exploration. You'll gain technical and practical training that will help you evaluate mineral systems and pursue a career in the mineral exploration industry. The advanced technical training you'll complete can also help you to upgrade your qualifications or to enter a new branch of geoscience.
