    Groundwaters in wet, temperate, mountainous, sulphide-mining districts: delineation of modern fluid flow and predictive modelling for mine closure (Rosebery, Tasmania). by Lee R.

Evans Date: ii Abstract There are as yet few studies of the hydrogeology of sulphide-mining districts in wet, temperate, mountainous areas of the world. This is despite the importance of understanding the influence of hydrogeology on the evolution and management of environmental issues such as acid mine drainage (AMD). There is a need to determine whether the special climatic and geological features of such districts result in distinct groundwater behaviours and compositions which need to be considered in mining impact studies.

  • TAA / Australian Airlines 25 Year Club Newsletter
    TAA / Australian Airlines 25 Year Club Newsletter No. 104 December 2019 Editor: John Wren President’s Report We should find out about the plans for QF’s 100th birthday celebrations in early 2020 [the actual birthday is in November 2020 but they are using the whole year to maximise the exposure]. We are hopeful that the TAA Museum will be able to participate with a special display of QF historical material and memorabilia. More later. The Tour Groups to the Museum have just started to slow down ahead of our closure for the festive season. Thursday pm the 5th December is our last day for 2019 – open again on Tuesday 4th February. We welcome Geoff and Vicki Kerton to the Museum as Volunteers. Just a friendly reminder if you are having a clean up at home, or downsizing, we will look after your donations of TAA and Australian Airlines memorabilia at the Museum. It would be a shame to have the family throw it out. The Museum has upgraded all its computers to Windows 10 as Windows 7 will no longer be supported by Microsoft from early January. You might look at your own situation at home. An Age [24/10/19] review of Hawaiian Airlines concluded with “native birdsong plays on entry and exit, and traditional Hawaiian music as your coming in to land. This airline is also lucky – in 1941 one of the airlines old eight seater Sikorsky’s was hit by Japanese fire at Pearl Harbour, which set an engine alight. Another stray bullet, however, hit a fire extinguisher, which put out the blaze! Well, it’s another year gone with 2020 just around the corner.

  • CODES 'Ore Deposit Characterisation' Research Initiative
    Newsletter of the Centre for Ore Deposit Research, an ARC Special Research Centre at the University of Tasmania CODES ‘ore deposit characterisation’ research initiative CODES has engaged Dr Steve Walters to develop a new research strand in the area of ‘ore deposit characterisation’ – the interface between exploration, mine scale geology and mineral processing. This interface is widely recognised as a cross-discipline divide that is not adequately addressed by current research and teaching initiatives. This new research will further support CODES in developing its strategic plan for new research initiatives to support the Centre of Excellence bid to be submitted in late 2004.
