A 3D Approach to Geology
by Georgina Gordon, Geologist
Services
Offering a range of services, including:
Data Processing & Interpretation
I offer basic to advanced processing of hyperspectral datasets through one or two day long courses.
Workflow Optimization
I excel at improving efficiency and refining workflows to optimize geological logging through hyperspectral core/ chip scanning and processing.
Innovation
I will partner with you to create innovative analytical solutions tailored to maximize the use and understanding of hyperspectral drill core/ chip data.
Workshops
Benefit from my expertise supporting industry and researchers with spectral solutions.
Confidentiality
Confidentiality is paramount, and no details will be released without express permission from my clients.
Mentoring / Internships
I am super happy to help clients and students with spectral related questions and projects, as ongoing part of services provided.
New Services:
VNIR-SWIR hand scanner now available to hire:
GCUBED has signed an agreement with Canadian company Hyperspectral Intelligence as the agent in the Asia-Pacific region!
I enjoy excellent spectra and making easy solutions for mineral exploration and understanding mineral systems, so does Hyperspectral Intelligence who have made one of their hyperspectral hand scanners (HHS) available for hire through GCubed.
Flick me an email if you want to know more or would like a demonstration of the unit and an introduction to the experienced geologists over at HI.
Check out their website: https://hyperspectral-intelligence.com/
Here’s some of the interesting things coming from HI – and the use of their HHS to scan and log spectral changes of RC samples in an epithermal gold system.
Spectral Insights
Latest Publication:
It is with much gratitude I would like to acknowledge the NVCL for their generous contribution to make this file open and available to all readers.
Check out my latest publication in The Australian Journal of Earth Sciences – a way to use TIR spectra to log grain size more rapidly and accurately. It’s not new, just a better application of the knowledge – I aimed to present several processing methods that make using scalars easy and applicable for logging geologists using hyperspectral data!
Estimating grain size using the thermal infrared spectral features of quartz and carbonate.

Lavas – in spectral data
Pyroxenes exhibit a strong spectral response in the TIR region, making it significantly easier to map these layers in drill cores using spectral mineralogy. Cumulates to vesicular basalt, and pillows can all be distinguished in the spectra and plotted accurately aiding logging and identification of marker horizons.

Epithermal Environments – A spectral approach
Epithermal environments have fascinating mineralogy, easily identified by non-destructive infrared analysis. This project aims to examine sets of drill cores from around Australia, and examine the mineralogy to determine the prospectivity of the field. In initial stages – stay tuned for updates.
I included a quick link to the some of the spectral results from an intermediate epithermal deposit in South Australia.
