Upcoming Self-Paced Courses
We are excited to expand our course offerings soon with a range of topics that cater to diverse professional needs. Planned courses include the PERC Reporting Standard, public affairs with Maureen Gallagher, GIS remote sensing with Dr. Arda Arcasoy, and the Azores Council Meeting EuroWorkshop sessions. For those interested in cutting-edge topics, we’re introducing a course on “Machine Learning for Geoscientists,” designed to explore digital transformation applications in mining, as well as an Environmental Geochemistry workshop tailored to the mine project lifecycle. Also, a comprehensive course on hydrogen exploration with Dr. Isabelle Moretti will provide insights into H2 accumulations in the subsurface, ideal for energy professionals. Stay tuned for updates and join us in these self-paced learning opportunities as we build out this vital knowledge hub.
Join Prof. Isidro Diego Álvarez for a practical 4-hour online course on RecMin, a free software for 3D modelling of mineral deposits. Learn how to create block models, apply geostatistics, and calculate resources and reserves using real datasets. Gain essential skills in geological modelling and mine design relevant to both students and professionals in the mineral sector.
(self-paced version of the live course)
This course was originally delivered live online from 16 to 26 June 2025 and has now been transformed into a fully self-paced training. Participants can now access the complete set of video recordings, presentation slides, and supporting resources through our learning platform.
Led by Dr. Gil Machado (Chronosurveys), this ~25-hour in-depth training on Sequence Stratigraphy provides a comprehensive exploration of stratigraphic concepts and their application to seismic, well log, and outcrop data. Through case studies and practical exercises, learners will develop the skills to build robust stratigraphic models with predictive value for exploration and development.
