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

Futurum

They produce samples that reveal how an orebody is layered (its stratigraphy) and other aspects of its lithology and physical characteristics. Loop software combines these data to make predictions about the lithology and stratigraphy of an orebody. Drill holes can extend deep into the rock.

How is mathematics applied to real world problems?

Futurum

Mathematical modelling — the ability to translate observations (experimental or otherwise) using mathematical theories and laws of physics to represent important features from a real-world problem. This variable is independent of space and time, and, in many cases, denotes the physical units associated with the dynamical system.
