KEGS October talk

Date: Tuesday October 12th at 4:00 PM EST
Title: Yaouré Gold Mine 3D seismic case history and recent hard rock processing and interpretation
developments
Speaker: Andy Dyke
Authors: Andy Dyke, Kevin Jarvis and Greg Turner
Abstract: 3D seismic reflection is gaining acceptance as a tool for accelerating the discovery of additional resources within mineralized environments. In this talk we will show how this is being achieved at the Yaouré Gold Mine in Côte d’Ivoire. In addition, we will show some of the new approaches that are being applied both to:
1. Obtain higher fidelity images which more clearly and accurately represent the subsurface geology; and
2. Derive more intuitive volume-based interpretations showing the 3D distribution of key rock units.

Modular course on Exploration GeophysicsEvery second December, The Mineral Exploration Research Centre at Laurentian University presents a modular course on Exploration Geophysics. This year the course will be held December 8-17 in the Executive Learning Centre, room FA-386 of the Fraser building on Laurentian’s Sudbury campus. The course can be taken by graduate students for credit towards their degree programs, or by professionals, in which case it can be counted towards the hours required for continuing education by professional registration organizations like the PGO. This year, professionals can sign up at a reduced rate if they participate in the lectures remotely and on-line.
The course is intended for geologists and geophysicists and will cover all aspects of geophysical methods: theory, instrumentation, acquisition, processing, display and interpretation. The methods covered and the case histories presented will be focused on mineral exploration.
More details about the course and links to a brochure and a registration form can be found Here
Retention in Geoscience Survey by Women Geoscientists in Canada
For a long time, there's been talk about leaky pipelines, the need for diversity, and thinking about the future of geoscience. But finding data has been tricky. WGC has created a survey to gain insight on retention in the geosciences.
Although this survey has been put forth by the Women Geoscientists in Canada, it is intended to explore the factors involved in retention, regardless of gender and location, so please share widely with your friends and colleagues, especially if you know people that have left the geoscience profession.

KEY ITEMS:
- Presentation of Scholarship Awards
- Michael and Patricia Carson Geophysics Scholarship for Indigenous Students
- Bourse Québécoise: Inaugural lauréat; donations encouraged
UPDATE:
- Presentation of Scholarship Awards: The Foundation announced in August the awarding of 27 scholarships for the upcoming academic year (2021\22), comprising 12 awards to undergraduates, 7 to M.Sc. students and 8 to Ph.D. candidates), totaling a record $38,000. On September 21, the following awards were presented in person at the special KEGS Ottawa meeting hosted by Sander Geophysics:
o Kaitlyn de Morée van Lierde – B.Sc., Carleton University – WAMIC Scholarship
o Taylor Tracey Kyryliuk – M.Sc./Ph.D., University of Ottawa – KEGS Foundation Scholarship
During the upcoming KEGS Meeting (on Oct 12), four University of Toronto students will be awarded their scholarships:
o Ryan Wang – B.Sc. – KEGS Foundation Scholarship
o Daniel Kahn – B.Sc./M.Sc. – KEGS Foundation Scholarship
o Erkan Gun – Ph.D. – KEGS Foundation Scholarship
o Tianshi Liu – Ph.D. – Len and Genice Collett Graduate Scholarship in Geophysics
Presentation of the remaining scholarship awards will be coordinated with various meetings and events across Canada this fall. Stand by for additional announcements.
- Michael and Patricia Carson Geophysics Scholarship for Indigenous Students: At the abovementioned KEGS Ottawa meeting, Ray Guerard, B.Sc. student at the University of Manitoba, participated via Zoom and was presented the inaugural Carson Scholarship for Indigenous Students to an in-person and online audience of supporters and K-O members. Ray discussed his interest in the geosciences since childhood and the current research programs he is involved in. Patricia Carson gave a moving speech regarding the reasons why she and her late husband Mike decided to establish the scholarship. She and Paul Strandberg shared remembrances of Mike, who passed away in August. Details of the award to Mr. Guerard are attached here
To honour Mikel Carson, more than thirty friends and family have donated to the endowment for the Carson Scholarship for Indigenous Students. We thank them for their extraordinary generosity and support of the Carson family and legacy.
- Bourse des pionniers de la géophysique québécoise: The inaugural award of this scholarship will soon be presented to Adrien Dimech, Ph.D. candidate at Université du Québec en Abitibi-Témiscamingue. We encourage further donations to the endowment, especially by those who want to sustain a vibrant geophysical community in the province and/or to honour the many pioneers from the academic and industry cohorts.
Additional details can be on the Foundation’s website www.kegsfoundation.org.
