Geoscientific data management is an essential skill set any geoscientist should develop whether you are employed in mining, environmental or research-related fields. Recent developments in GIS data capture using smartphone apps allow geoscientists to streamline data capture in the field and later to manipulate and share the data within an organisation.

The module therefore aims to introduce geological (mapping and sampling) data management workflows comprising simple to advanced excel databases as well as the usage of tailored GIS smartphone apps.

This is a coursework and independent/ self-study heavy module that allows you to practically learn and familiarise with data management principles.

This course builds upon CSMM189 (GIS and Remote Sensing) and uses material and learnings from CSMM194 (Exploration and Mining Geology).
