Sub 22 Conference
28 - 30 November 2022   |   National Wine Centre, Adelaide

From imaging structures to predicting processes


 

Our ability to image, conceptualise and ultimately predict a resource is greatly enhanced if we can account for the processes governing its formation. The CSIRO Deep Earth Imaging Future Science Platform’s biennial subsurface symposium, Sub 22, is centred on how best to overcome the obstacles encountered on the journey from imaging structures to predicting processes associated with resource formation. It will provide the geoscience community with:

 

•   A platform to contribute, discuss and learn about the interdependence between the science pillars of imaging, conceptualisation, and prediction for the exploration, characterisation, and management of energy, mineral, and water resources..

 

•   A forum for in-depth conversations about the transition from imaging structures to predicting processes and their outcomes underway in the geosciences.

Program


The symposium will deliver a diverse program of workshops, presentations, panel discussions, informal roundtables and networking opportunities, providing attendees with the chance to contribute and gain interdisciplinary insights into a wide range of scientific concepts, among them:

•   Extracting additional information from data so that complex models of subsurface processes can be better constrained.
•   Obtaining information about the processes governing the formation, evolution and properties of resources of all types.
•   Objectively accounting for petrophysical information in the inversion of geophysical data.

 

Topics will include, but not limited to:

•   New sources of information about the subsurface
•   Regional Water Resource assessments: opportunities and challenges
•   What can we learn from the conceptualisation challenges in groundwater?
•   Multidisciplinary investigations of the deep and not so deep earth
•   Understanding the Deep Earth through transects
•   Dynamics of sedimentary basins
•   Natural Hydrogen

Who should attend?

•   Geoscientist in Academia, Industry and Government interested in learning about the building blocks needed for the transition from imaging structures to understanding processes.
•   Early career scientists looking for a small conference with interdisciplinary networking opportunities.
•   Applied geoscientist interested in how solutions developed to address questions in another domain might be relevant for them.

Why attend?

Sub 22 seeks to provide a platform to explore the interdependence between the imaging, conceptualisation and prediction of a resource and a forum for in-depth conversations about the transition underway in the geosciences from imaging structures to predicting processes and their outcomes. Attendees will be able to gain interdisciplinary insight around questions like.

•   How can I objectively account for petrophysical information in the inversion of geophysical data?
•   How can I extract additional information from data so that I can better constrain my complex models of the subsurface and processes?
•   What sensor technologies can serve as novel sources of information about the subsurface?
•   How can I obtain information about the processes governing the formation, evolution and properties of my resource?

 

The conference will provide opportunities to

•   Reconnect with your colleagues and the wider Australian Geoscience Community.
•   Learn about novel imaging, conceptualisation and predictions methods and discuss emerging technologies.
•   Explore the inherent interdependence between exploring for and managing of mineral, water and energy resources.
