Prof Peter Dowd elected President of the IAMG
Professor Peter Dowd, Director of the ARC Industrial Transformation Training Centre for Integrated Operations for Complex Resources has been elected President of the International Association for the Mathematical Geosciences (IAMG) for a four-year term commencing September 2020.
The IAMG promotes international cooperation in the application and use of mathematics in geological research and technology.聽
The IAMG publishes four journals (Mathematical Geosciences; Computers and Geosciences; Natural Resources Research; and Applied Computing and Geosciences) that are widely regarded as the leading publications in the field of quantitative geosciences and in inter-disciplinary approaches to geoscience and natural resources research - geostatistics, computing, machine learning, optimisation, simulation, rapid resource modelling, data analytics and data integration.
These topics align strongly with Professor Dowd鈥檚 research and the projects undertaken by the ARC Industrial Training Centre for Integrated Operations for Complex Resources, and the PRIF Integrated Mining Consortium, at the Institute for Mineral and Energy Resources.
In addition, one of the annual IAMG Conferences, is likely to be held in Adelaide during Peter鈥檚 tenure, which will be a great opportunity for staff and students of the ARC Training Centre and the PRIF Consortium.
