Decoding Aeromagnetic Maps using the Secrets of “Hotspots”
As a geostatistician, Dr. Carina Lemmer has been a member of exploration project evaluation teams for the last three decades.
She had the opportunity to further her studies in geostatistics at Stanford University, where she first learned about mantle plumes or “hotspots”.
It has since then been a long and exhilarating journey of discovery to decode aeromagnetic maps and find the awe and wonder behind what happened and why.
