New Book: Remote Sensing and Spectral Geology Reviews in Economic Geology Volume 16 SEG Website

International polymetallic exploration with strong field based skills and the ability to develop and apply a broad range of geotechnologies.

• The ability to locate hypogene systems in well explored areas with unprecedented success.
• Management of international exploration teams and technical groups.
• Developed probability techniques for mapping favorable exploration regions. The method developed expands the capability of fuzzy logic. The current State of Nevada Geothermal probability map was done with these techniques (Coolbaugh & Bedell 2002).
• Involved in target selection and project generation world wide for 20 years.
• Field expertise is well developed for alteration mapping and structural geology.
• Established techniques for dealing with multi-element geochemistry using background parameters, correlation coefficients, factor analysis and spatial coherence to derive geochemical populations.
• Geophysical data processing and integration.
• Effective technical transfer to field crews for implementation. Established short courses that have been given world wide.
