Intended as a retrospective and forward looking event, these conferences initially had roots in geophysics, but have since expanded to include a full suite of talks spanning geochemistry, geology and geophysics. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f10604a2eb3d3179de51001/1594912619155-GXGL7GK0OB7YQGQXUUC5/Canva+-+Multiracial+colleagues+watching+laptop+screen+at+conference+in+office.jpg Home - Workshops We create bespoke continuing education programs to address the needs of teachers and their student communities.

Their focus is development and application of geophysical forward modelling and inversion methodologies. Mineral exploration and UXO characterization are primary contexts, while environmental, geotechnical and large scale Earth imaging problems are also of interest. Research at the UBC-GIF is supported primarily by consortium funding arrangements with NSERC, exploration and engineering companies, and other agencies. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f10604a2eb3d3179de51001/1599574255757-CZBFL6OUIZIEKXKKH1AO/image-asset.jpeg Research - University of Toronto Geophysics: TSpace Respository https://www.dmec.ca/history daily 0.75 2020-07-17 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f10604a2eb3d3179de51001/1594996969283-HW6SUXVZ1SMZW5YH6XNX/Canva+-+Three+People+Standing+Near+Table+-+reduced.jpg History - History Decennial Minerals Exploration Conferences (DMEC) was created in 2005 as the legal entity responsible for all aspects of the decennial conferences. The previous conferences, starting in 1967, were operated informally but with the impending Exploration 07 conference (September 2007), a formal umbrella organization was required to handle various legal and administrative issues associated with holding a large complex event. The sixth conference was held in October 2017 along similar lines to 2007, with an agenda designed to summarize the advancements in the state of the art in minerals exploration technology over the previous decade through a series of focused technology reviews and case studies in the fields of geophysics, geochemistry, remote sensing and information processing and data management. Following Exploration 07, the DMEC executive undertook to define a more proactive, on-going role for the organization as 10 year gaps in activity by the committee was no longer seen as adequate. Some of the major initiatives include establishing a permanent DMEC web site which serves as a home for the proceedings of all decennial conferences held. In addition, DMEC directors have been encouraging other workshop and conference forums that repeat and enhance the DMEC message of the better integration of technology in exploration. DMEC has had a presence at the annual PDAC conference since 2011, providing a technology-focused workshop inside the overall PDAC conference. Prior to Exploration 07, the decennial conferences had defined themes but were overall did not attempt to undertake any activity other than the building and carrying out of the next conference; once completed the conference organizing committee disbanded. For these events, the mission could be simply defined as creating and running a successful meeting. Post Exploration 07, the executive realized that a clearer statement of purpose was required to define the organization. — Ken Witherly Co-founder and Director https://www.dmec.ca/decennial-conference-proceedings daily 0.75 2025-08-08 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f10604a2eb3d3179de51001/2929a14b-0649-4c99-9127-e6c121bfff26/Exploration+27+Full+logo+EN.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f10604a2eb3d3179de51001/a4d4dc08-9fe7-4494-a8e1-36d3c9932faa/E07_Conference_Program.jpg Decennial Conference Proceedings - Exploration ‘07: Exploration in the New Millennium The 5th Decennial International Conference on Mineral Exploration https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f10604a2eb3d3179de51001/1602758155610-Q4SHG7QT9OE9M24G28QO/E77.jpg Decennial Conference Proceedings - Exploration ‘77: Geophysics and Geochemistry in Search for Metallic Ores Held in Ottawa, Canada in October 1977 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f10604a2eb3d3179de51001/1606338491048-LFI9N14FEGWV90894MRA/E97.jpg Decennial Conference Proceedings - Exploration ‘97: Geophysics and Geochemistry at the Millenium Hosted in Toronto, Canada from Sep 14 - 18, 1997 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f10604a2eb3d3179de51001/1606337577788-8X2GVS9WCVJ4Y6PPLWBK/E87.jpg Decennial Conference Proceedings - Exploration ‘87: Third Decennial International Conference on Geophysical and Geochemical Exploration for Minerals and Groundwater Hosted in Toronto, Canada from Sep 27 - Oct 1, 1987 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f10604a2eb3d3179de51001/1602757235889-M5IQRXWRTWM0NNTEQVO3/E57.jpg Decennial Conference Proceedings - 6th Commonwealth Mining and Metallurgical Congress 1957 Methods and Case Histories in Mining Geophysics https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1589847889805-4CSH3WF032AT36JZO1XE/image-asset.jpeg Decennial Conference Proceedings - Exploration ‘67: Mining and Groundwater Geophysics https://www.dmec.ca/workshops-and-videos daily 0.75 2022-09-22 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f10604a2eb3d3179de51001/1601555453572-THXKYWAICQ2BFKTPJNV7/2020-Image.jpg Workshops and Videos - 2020 The Value Proposition of Geophysics: It’s Not Just Discovery Download Handout Here Watch Video Here https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f10604a2eb3d3179de51001/1601666774152-TK95MOYDSGIRDE0YD9HR/2017-Image.jpg Workshops and Videos https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f10604a2eb3d3179de51001/1601666828558-H6NATMJGW8SXNUTHL6PD/2019-Image.jpg Workshops and Videos https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f10604a2eb3d3179de51001/1601666741590-OAZGT8TM0K3WPLUH26AS/2018-Jose-Gorchs-Machine-Learning-A-Z.png Workshops and Videos https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f10604a2eb3d3179de51001/1602102921412-DCRRYT6KY67FYBY98BK0/2014-Image.jpg Workshops and Videos https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f10604a2eb3d3179de51001/1602102880835-UTK4FUS2G60XNGEV6I6B/2016-Image.jpg Workshops and Videos https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f10604a2eb3d3179de51001/1602102898191-ACYWJBY445EJBBBGPWTM/2015-Image.jpg Workshops and Videos https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f10604a2eb3d3179de51001/1601929009586-LMS0KS0J40R1OGJ48BEA/2013-Image.jpg Workshops and Videos https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f10604a2eb3d3179de51001/1601929373386-MQ71OBUDNDRVVDCJEAE0/2012-Image.jpg Workshops and Videos https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f10604a2eb3d3179de51001/1601928912918-9YLRB79WJWLA9ZADPN8X/2011-Image.jpg Workshops and Videos https://www.dmec.ca/etd daily 0.75 2022-11-11 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f10604a2eb3d3179de51001/1599575014464-I807DMFNCG7GTF5IDC48/image-asset.jpeg Exploration Trends and Development - Exploration Trends & Developments The ETD review originated with the Geological Survey of Canada (GSC), where for more than 50 years GSC scientists prepared an unbiased annual publication on trends and new developments in geophysical exploration for minerals.
