Application of geophysical tools in unravelling mine waste environments​

Description: This PhD project aims to revolutionise the study of mine waste environments using advanced geophysical techniques. The research will focus on:

  • Characterising subsurface architecture and material composition.
  • Enhancing non-invasive investigation methods for mine waste environments.
  • Developing new approaches for the integration of geophysical and geochemical data.

Benefits: The research will improve methods for characterising and managing mine waste environments, leading to more effective resource recovery and environmental management. By optimising the use of geophysical tools in these unique environments, the project will contribute to sustainable mining practices and support Australia’s efforts to minimise the environmental impact of mining operations.
