Episode 13: Structure - Solutions for Complex Data

Capturing structural geology data is important. Why? As Federico Arboleda, founder and CEO of Imago says: “There's no mine unless you can make that [geotechnical] estimation or characterization. And this is the founding data that allows you to define that.”

So how can we collect this data? With the amount of technologies available, it might be easier than you think. 

For example, if you already take photos of your core while logging - you’re halfway there. Often the unstructured data (images, videos, etc.) we capture in our workflows aren’t fully leveraged. Federico discusses how to best capture insights provided by imagery when it comes to structural geology. 

And it was only a matter of time before phone and tablet apps crept into structural geology. Rohanna Gibson of Terrane Geoscience shares her tips for making sure your expensive tablet survives in the field, while collecting the best data possible. 

Lastly, Chris Gallagher of Rogue Geoscience takes us through oriented drillcore logging – why, how, and when to do it. He shares the top five mistakes done in this type of logging method and advice for working with your drilling team.
