About the Role
The Mapping Geologist-3D Geological Modeller will be required to: 1) produce a layered seamless geology dataset in GIS, with relevant associated data tables; 2) extract, compile and interpret depth estimates from available geological, geophysical, geochemical and drilling data to map the geology under cover; 3) compile depth estimates into corporate relational databases. The role will also involve modelling depth surfaces using 3D modelling software and machine learning to produce a layered depth to cover model.
To be successful in the role, you will:
- Read, extract, interpret and summarise key geological, lithological and other information for geological rock units of Australia from geophysical data, geological maps, reports and publications; Capture such data into relevant relational databases;
- Develop working relationships with the team and other parts of the organisation;
- Be prepared to work with limited supervision, and to seek advice from colleagues where necessary;
- Aid the team in general activities to progress the project. These may include: reviewing and editing documents, meetings, stakeholder communication including with other partners;
- Writing/contributing to scientific documents and reports.
- A minimum requirement for a degree in geology or suitably equivalent tertiary qualification.
- Prior experience working in Australian geological terranes and geological field mapping is preferred but not essential. In addition, the contractor should have:
- Experience in field geological mapping and geological research, especially conducting literature reviews and data mining from a variety of geological and geochemical resources;
- Advanced GIS skills and experience with geological mapping, including the use of various other geoscience data (e.g., geophysical, drilling data) in constructing 2D and 3D geological maps is highly desirable;
- Experience in databases management and SQL will be looked on favourably;
- Knowledge of and experience with use of stratigraphic nomenclature for geological units;
- Familiarity with scientific programming (e.g. python) and experience in 3D geological modelling;
- Have skills and success in working in multidisciplinary teams, yet also be able to work under minimal supervision or guidance.
