These data are collected from surveys of the surface geology and drill holes, which allow geologists to build a picture of the subsurface rock. They produce samples that reveal how an orebody is layered (its stratigraphy) and other aspects of its lithology and physical characteristics. What is Loop? How does Loop work?

CLIMATE MODELS — big computer models that use maths, physics and chemistry to characterise how energy and matter (solid, gas or fluid) flow between the hydrosphere (oceans, ice, rivers and lakes), atmosphere and land. Your pathway will depend on the particular direction you wish to head in, but a solid background in the sciences is important.
