Uncover Summit presentations

Monday

Session 1

• What is the future for government geoscience initiatives in Australia?
• Minerals down under flagship
• Leveraging investment in the Earth sciences to meet future mineral discovery challenges
• Making Australia competitive: undercover mineral discovery
• A national trajectory for geoscience research in Australia and some historical perspectives towards UNCOVER

Session 2

• Industry requirements for undercover exploration
• Minerals industry challenges: unlocking Australia's potential through collaboration
• Challenges and opportunities for under-cover exploration in Australia
• What’s needed, and what’s not

Session 3

• Innovation to support the UNCOVER Business

• Transported cover: friend not an enemy

Tuesday

Session 4

• Australia’s lithospheric architecture: imaging for under cover mineral discovery
• Archean SCLM: what do we (think we) know?
• Next generation 3D modelling and inversion: what you don't know can help you

Session 5

• Theory of constraints applied to mineral systems
• Isotope geology through space and time: a tool for understanding crustal evolution
