Short Course organised by Fennoscandian Exploration and Mining Conference (FEM): Geophysics applied to targeting
Day 1: Special Session: Drone applications and data integration using self-organizing maps
Date and time: Monday, 27, October 2025 at 11.30–18.00
Location: Hotel Hullu Poro, Levi
For: FEM 2025 geophysics short course participants
Welcome to learn new about drone applications and data integration using self-organizing maps!
In this session, you will get familiar with building magnetic and electromagnetic models. In addition to a short introduction to theoretics about geophysics and mineral prospective modelling (MPM), you will learn through data integration demonstrations and hands-on exercises using a modelling software (to be downloaded on your personal computer beforehand – instructions will be sent to participants closer to the event).
You will walk out with:
- deepened understanding of the methods tools, used for mineral prospective modelling and interpretation
- new skills on the modelling softwares
- information about drone applications and services for mining exploration
Level of the short course is intermediate: the participants are expected to have some knowledge on geophysical data integration and geographic information systems (GIS).
This special session is run by the DroneSOM project. The project aims to harness drones and machine learning to improve the current mineral exploration methods. The project partners aim to launch a comprehensive set of new machine learning tools and methodologies for commercialization in 2025.
