Data science as a field of study has exploded in recent years. As our ability to collect, store and interpret large amounts of data increases, it is inevitable that data science will play an increasingly important part in most disciplines. Mining and mineral exploration is no different.
A lot of the discussion around data science in mining focuses on what we need to learn and why we need to learn it. But this misses an important aspect: how do we in the industry learn from each other? What can geologists and engineers teach data scientists? What can they teach us?
In today’s episode, we talk to Richard Scott, a data scientist that works with the exploration team at OZ minerals, a mining and exploration company based in Adelaide, Australia.
