13 January. Newcastle

Spatial Analysis
Fee: £275 Maps are great for conveying information but managers want quantitative results which they can be confident in. By learning how to analyse your data using spatial statistics and geospatial methods, you can quantify the geographical patterns and trends found. This course will introduce some of the methods used by a modern GIS, firstly introducing the concepts in a non mathematical manner, then moving on to the practical application through a number of realistic exercises. Audience: For those who would like to analyse data and provide quantitative results. This course would suit those who have completed an intermediate GIS course. Goals • Learn what spatial distributions are and how they can be used • Find out how to calculate spatial densities • Discover what the global spatial correlation is and how it can be used • How the local spatial correlation is calculated and used For more information and how to book please refer to our website:

GIS in Mining and Exploration
Access a world of GIS best practice – live and on-demand – without leaving your office In today’s complex and competitive environment, GIS offers multiple applications in the mining industry with tools to gather, compile, process, display, analyse, and archive extensive volumes of data. A well designed, implemented, and supported GIS management structure is critical to the success of your mining or exploration operation. At Mining IQ's GIS in Mining & Exploration Online Summit you will have the opportunity to hear successful examples from companies that have implemented GIS and utilised GIS to their advantage. You will also get to hear about the future of the industry and the role GIS will play going forwards, both in terms of exploration and mining. A group of global GIS and spatial data (SDI) experts will gather together for this online summit to disseminate and share global best practice and to discuss matters of mutual importance; about where the GIS is headed and what strategies both mine sites and exploration companies can use for heightened results and advantage.

GIS Ostrava 2012
Surface models are frequently used for many applications in geosciences. Models with different scales, various data sources, alternative construction approaches and representations are searched to best fit for the given purpose. The common focus is a model quality adequate to satisfy our needs and efficiency requirements. The controlled quality is essential to manage uncertainty in our processing and decision making. Extensive field studies and research have been conducted to address these issues. The aim of the conference is to present and discuss new methods, issues and challenges encountered in all parts of a complex process of gradual development and utilization of digital surface models. Each phase of the model processing requires adequate methods and contains issues which may substantially decrease the value of the model. The conference provides a platform to discuss also requirements, features and research approaches for virtual reality, 3D object modeling, continuous field modeling and other geoscience.
