On the first Wednesday of each month a woman in Earth or Environmental science in Australasia presents a seminar about their research and their career pathway. Our seminar series aims to increase the visibility of women scientists and provide inspiring role models for other scientists and science educators. Seminars are hosted live via zoom.

 

Aeromagnetic interpretation of the Tanami Region and northwest Aileron Province

DR. TEAGAN BLAIKIE, CSIRO

Biography: Teagan Blaikie is a research scientist in geology and geophysics and is the Team Leader for Basins at CSIRO. Her research focusses on integrating geophysical and geological data for mapping under cover, and structural and tectonic analysis. Research outputs are achieved through qualitative interpretation of geophysical data to generate structural and geological maps, and applying geologically constrained forward and inverse modelling of gravity and magnetic data to model crustal architecture. Geophysical interpretations are strongly integrated with multidisciplinary research undertaken across CSIRO, and have been used to guide numerical simulations for fluid flow and deformation modelling. Her recent work has focused extensively on Proterozoic basin systems in northern Australia, and she is currently working on a range of regional scale interpretation and modelling projects in collaboration with the state geological surveys.
