Modelling mines: how can a new 3D modelling platform make mining more sustainable and be part of the solution to climate change?

Futurum

These data are collected from surveys of the surface geology and drill holes, which allow geologists to build a picture of the subsurface rock. This means that testing different predictions and scenarios can be done rapidly, and better characterisation of the orebodies can be achieved. What is Loop? How does Loop work?

How does the Southern Ocean help protect our planet?

Futurum

The canyons, being more easily accessible than the distant and harsh environments nearer Antarctica, are sourced by waters traversing the critical Southern Ocean zone of high phytoplankton productivity, which now mainly drives high CO2 uptake. Chemistry, biology, physics, geology and statistics could all prove very useful.

Classroom resources for the new school year

Futurum

Geology – Not all students can participate in fieldwork, so Professor Terry Pavlis and Professor Laura Serpa have created virtual 3D models to make the benefits of geology fieldwork accessible to everyone. Can your students design and create an accessible musical instrument or piece of music technology?
