Portable X-ray fluorescence (pXRF) technology can be used to collect large amounts of multi-element data rapidly at relatively low cost and has been widely embraced within the minerals industry.
CSIRO and AusIMM’s Adelaide Branch are presenting a one day short course in Adelaide next week.
However, to date, it has been difficult to compare data-sets collected by different users or at different times because there is no standardised approach to the collection of these data. Dr Gazley will show you how to collect reliable pXRF data, some of the pitfalls to avoid, and how to assess that your data are robust and fit-for-purpose.
Participants will be invited to provide input to the short course regarding applications that they are interested in so that the short course can be focussed to their interests if possible. Please email michael.gazley@csiro.au.
The short course flyer, including registration details, is available here.
Requirements:
Participants are asked to bring a laptop to complete practical exercises. Ideally with the geochemical data exploration software ioGAS installed. A two week free demonstration copy of this software is available here.
