Geophysical and geological subsurface models are distinct in terms of their data distribution and resolution, modelling workflows, and the time of their creation in the mine life cycle. As a result of this, the district to deposit-scale 2D-3D models developed in support of mineral exploration and mining projects suffer from a poor integration between geology and geophysics.

With commodity prices rebounding from their lowest in at least 25 years, miners are stepping up spending and considering the reactivation of projects placed in the back burner, but there is a new looming risk they don't seem ready to deal with — their ability to access workers with the skills needed in an upswing. That is the main conclusion of a recent report by Canada's Mining Industry Human Resources Council, which warns about the immediate consequences of the lack of recruitment over the past five years.

Storm tracks — regions where storms travel from west to east across oceans and continents driven by the prevailing jet stream — determine weather and climate in middle-latitude places like Chicago and New York.
"Changes in the position of storm tracks in response to anthropogenic climate change depend on how the equator-to-pole temperature gradient will change, and among the various factors affecting this gradient, cloud changes stand out as one of the important pieces of the puzzle," said Tiffany S. Shaw, assistant professor in geophysical sciences at the University of Chicago.
