Geology Challenge 2023

Registrations are now closed for the 2023 Geology Challenge.

The Maptek Geology Challenge offers the chance to experiment with the latest geological modelling tools to control the complexity of your dataset.

Machine learning is proving successful in generating rapid, realistic models from large quantities of data. For geological models to be truly valuable, they must accurately represent the complexity of the geology we are trying to understand.

The tools and techniques we use are as much a key part of the modelling process as the underlying algorithm.

Hear from Maptek Senior Technical Lead for geology, Richard Jackson, about the theme for this year's challenge.
