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

Changes in ocean dynamics have direct implications for carbon uptake and storage, which in turn influences the chemistry and productivity of ocean waters and, consequently, the entire climate system. Chemistry, biology, physics, geology and statistics could all prove very useful.
