| This course presents the principles of ecology with respect to aquatic ecosystems, and how metals from all stages in the life of a mine are discharged to these ecosystems. The course also examines the properties of metals and discusses various toxicity testing methods and controls... more ...
| | A comprehensive course and technical reference on the chemistry, mechanisms, sources, assessment, testing and prediction of acid rock drainage ... supported by case studies. This course has been upgraded to include a new session on lithogeochemistry and a recent case study on the Kemess mine property... more ...
| | This practical course is concerned with the principles, procedures and tools for quality control of geochemical and assay samples on a mineral project. Topics include: statistical tests; sources and measures of error in sampling, subsampling and analysis; and procedures for monitoring data quality. This course is a "must" for anyone concerned with interpreting assay results and/or implementing quality control procedures... more ...
| | This is the first of two courses based on 35 years of teaching statistics and geostatistics to mining engineers, geologists, hydrologists, soil scientists and climatologists, plus the occasional geographer, pattern recognition expert, meteorologist, statistician, and computer scientist. It is intended for people with problems to be solved that can be assisted by a geostatistical approach. This course covers the statistical groundwork for the geostatistical techniques presented in the second course... more ...
