Summary Mineral explorers are challenged to integrate a vast amount and variety of data into a single coherent interpretation. Geological interpretation, in general, is a difficult and subjective task as human biases can result in highly uncertain outcomes. This on-going collaborative research between CET and GSWA aims to address this challenge by facilitating improved utilization of GSWA data to support explorers operating in Western Australia. The Integrated Exploration Platform aims to harness the power of human computer interaction coupled with visualization and image analysis, to maximize geological knowledge gain whilst minimizing visual biases in multi-data interpretation. This is partially achieved through novel visualization methods that allow multiple datasets simultaneously, and novel visualization methods for more effective comprehension of 3D volumetric data.
