Did you know that in addition to being one of our industry’s geochemical powerhouses, JC is also an artist? But also as we continue along in the episode we’ll see that he’s perhaps a staunch businessman. The course spans fundamentals (including QA/QC), a review of methodologies, interpretation of 4 acid ICP data, geometallurgy, ore body

Do you want to integrate machine learning into your exploration workflow, but feel precluded from doing so because of complicated terminology in the majority of the literature? Have a crack at Mac’s first paper and then join us for this discussion on how he implemented a relatively simple, but well-constrained, study to provide explorationists with

Have you perused a geochemistry lab schedule and not known where to start? Don’t worry – the answers are not obvious and GeocHemiSTea is here to help! We have broken this episode into six sections to get to your answers quicker, but considering the complexity of the topic and the importance of having the best

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. For this episode we read: Mineral Geochemistry Vectoring: Uncovering Northwest

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

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
