About the Short Course

Groundwater mapping and hydrogeological conceptual modelling, using AEM data is a “hot topic”. The Geoscience Team at I•GIS is a part of the Danish suite of technical solution providers within the field of groundwater modeling and therefore has extensive expertise and experience in this area.

This one day “hands-on” course goes through the practicalities of building a 3D conceptual model from scratch using AEM and other geoscientific data types by combining cross-sections, GIS maps and 3D visualization in the interpretation process – with the main focus on how to get the most out of your AEM data. In addition to the traditional manual modeling techniques, we will introduce and go through examples on how to utilize Machine Learning tools in the modeling process – including clustering algorithms and the Smart Interpretation method. We will also work with statistical methods and tools to evaluate and control the quality of the interpreted model with respect to the available data.

The course will be a combination of short lectures and exercises, and at the end of the day the participants will have touched base with the main principles behind building a hydro stratigraphic conceptual model.

For the exercises in the course we will use the GeoScene3D software package – To be able to carry out the exercises, the course participants will get free access to the software during the course.


About Instructor

Mats holds a Ph.D. in Geophysics from Copenhagen University. The focus of his academic work is on how to utilize geophysical data and mathematical methods like Machine Learning and geostatistics to develop algorithms, tools and software to assist geologists in making geological models faster and to account for the uncertainty. Mats is involved in more then 10 scientific publications on the subject.

In his daily work as Head of Sales and GeoScience Research he is mainly responsible for:
- Sales and Sale Administration
- Key Account Management
- R&D Development
- Project Management, Courses & Training
