Machine Learning for Geological Modelling

Overview

This course introduces machine learning concepts and techniques relevant to geoscientific and geological modelling, with a strong applied focus. Participants learn how machine learning can be used to analyse complex geological datasets, support modelling decisions, and improve predictive insights across the mining value chain. The course covers key algorithms, data preprocessing, model training, validation, and interpretation through applied tasks and case studies. Emphasis is placed on critically evaluating model performance and communicating results clearly for professional practice. By the end of the course, participants are equipped to apply machine learning responsibly and effectively in data-driven geoscientific modelling contexts. A quality-assured certificate from the University of the Witwatersrand is issued on successful completion.
