Dr Mark Lindsay

Mark is currently a CSIRO Mineral Resources Science Leader and Adjunct Senior Research fellow at the University of Western Australia. He is a geoscientist whose research interests include understanding the complexities of uncertainty in 2/3D geoscientific modelling throughout the various scales and phases of mining and exploration. Mark and his collaborators are working toward a stochastic approach to modelling that attempts to understand the importance of different data types in answering interdisciplinary questions and providing support for decision-making. Mark has extensive experience integrating diverse data sets for interpretation, mineral systems and prospectivity studies while working with a number of geological surveys, leading mining organisations and various academic institutions around the world. Mark participates in a number of national and international research initiatives such as the Data Analytics for Resources and Environment (DARE) Training Centre, Loop Consortium and MinEx CRC. In his role as Science Leader in Mineral Resources - “Minerals 4D”, Mark and collaborators work across capability boundaries to bring deeper understanding of the links between the data we collect and the geological phenomena they represent.
