Prerequisites: |
The context
will be better understood if the related "Setup" and
"Properties" activities have be run, but they are not essential. |
Objectives: |
During this
activity you become involved in the process of chosing surveys,
considering data, and interpreting for one of the tasks in the
Tailings project case history. |
Activities: |
Action maze
decision-making activity, supported with quiz-style activities
with built-in checking of responses. |
Related resources:
There are several exercises associated with "The Tailings
Project", each representing one aspect of applying geophysics
to this multi-faceted geotechnical / environmental situation. They
are based upon aspects of the general seven
step framework that helps with application of geophysics to
geoscience problems.
- Step 1: setting up the application of geophysics to the problem.
- Step 2: establishing the physical properties relevant for each
task.
- Steps 3, 4, 5, 6: Chosing surveys, collecting data & carrying
out processing for addressing one of the tasks at this project,
estimating volume of calcine (the currently open exercise).
- Step 7: A synthesis project activity involving much of the
whole case history.
