Workshops and GIS Training
Kenex
Ltd provides training in MapInfo and Discover for the geosciences and for
predictive modelling tools. Training for one to two students can be run at
the Kenex office in Wellington or on-site training for up to four students
can also be arranged. The
training can be tailored to suit your requirements based on your existing
MapInfo knowledge.

GIS For Geoscientists – BASIC
Duration:
2 days
Overview:
This course is designed as a basic introduction for the geoscientist
wanting to use GIS for their field mapping, database management, map /
report generation, and basic spatial analysis. We teach using MapInfo and
Encom Discover software and cover the basics that you will need to
understand data management, collection, spatial analysis and presentation.
The course will also introduce you to exploration-specific skills such as
drill hole plotting and generation of grid files.
Course Topics:
-
MapInfo & Discover User Interface
-
Tables and Workspaces
-
Importing & Exporting Data
-
Layer Control
-
Projections
-
Selections & Queries
-
Editing Data
-
Map Making

Predictive Modelling
Duration: 3 days
Overview: This
course is designed to introduce you to the basics of predictive modelling
using Arc-SDM (designed by the Geological Survey of Canada) or MI-SDM (Avantra
Geosystems). The course is run by Dr Greg Partington who has more than 25
years experience in the minerals industry, who has been involved with
spatial modelling for many years, and who has published many research papers
on the use of predictive modelling in the geosciences industry. This course
focuses on using spatial data from multiple data sets for prediction. Follow
the links here to find out more about Greg and Predictive Modelling.
Course Topics:
-
What is prospectivity and how is it used
in mineral exploration?
-
Exploration models compared to genetic
models.
-
Software, tools and basic GIS techniques.
-
Spatial data analysis, spatial data
correlations and the exploration model.
- Prospectivity models using fuzzy logic, weights of evidence and neural networks.
- Tailored GIS
