GeOCHemISTea

Science EN ↓ 55 episodes

Every geoscientist is capable of understanding and applying geochemical data, however, at GeocHemiSTea we understand that there is an incredible amount of nuance and accumulated knowledge. We are here to break down the impediments towards geoscientists learning more about this exciting field! Are you a student wanting to break into the field? Listen to each episode to see how reknown geochemists got to where they are today. Are you intrigued by integrating geochemistry, but don't know how? Stay tuned! Lastly are you looking for some Tea/good gossip? We got it.

Analytical Digests and Finishes with Pim van Geffen 09.08.2022 8:20

Getting excited for Pim's upcoming episode on building your own geochemistry classification diagram? Here's a short episode that delves into the world of analytical digests and scratches the surface of analytical finishes.

PGE, Cr & crystal mushes with Jason Coumans 07.07.2022 34:08

For this episode we read: "Rapid crystallization of precious-metal-mineralized layers in mafic magmatic systems" (Hepworth et al., 2020). What does a computational geochemist and igneous petrologist do? Apparently, they think a lot on crystal mushes and bifurcation. Seeing mafic magmatic PGE and Cr systems from an igneous petrology perspective has its benefits and there's something in this episode...

Don't forget your maths with Tom Carmichael 08.06.2022 1:06:09

"...and the moment you run into this will tell you a lot about how you feel as a person, to learn something you might have been wrong about." -Tom Carmichael  Tom is the Chief Data Scientist at Datarock and we spent a long time at the beginning of this episode talking about the fields of mathematical and computational geology, particularly from the perspective of someone at the university lev...

Techniques and the Art of Making Geochemistry Maps with German Ojeda 09.05.2022 42:54

For this episode we read: "Geochemical mapping: technique or art" (Reinmann, 2005). When preparing this episode, German immediately gravitated to the concept that all geoscientists can be geochemists AND that all geochemists should be good geoscientists. In this episode we explore how the basic principles of survey design lead to the generation of meaningful geochemical summary outputs, e.g., maps...

Geochemistry in the Carlin with Simon Griffiths 18.04.2022 56:18

For this episode we read: "The Oil-Bearing, Carlin-Type Gold Deposits of Yankee Basin, Alligator Ridge District, Nevada" (Hulen & Collister, 1999).  Our chat ranges from lithogeochemistry to isotopes to pathfinder elements in the Carlin (Nevada) with Simon Griffiths. More interesting, let's see his path from a young Welsh structural geologist to the proprietor and principal consultant of...
