We are pleased to invite you to submit your abstract to the session: B4. Geophysical and Geological Collaborative Studies for Natural Resources Explorations to be held within the 2nd Eurasia Geoscience Congress & Exhibition – EGCE 2025, jointly organized by Ankara University and the Society of Exploration Geophysicists (SEG) on 2-6 November 2025 in Antalya, Türkiye.
Conveners:
- Veysel IŞIK (Ankara University, Türkiye)
- Nilgün OKAY ( Istanbul Technical University, Türkiye)
Session Description
The integration of geophysical and geological methods has become essential in the efficient and accurate exploration of natural resources such as rare minerals (e.g., lithium, rare earth elements), hydrocarbons, and geothermal energy. Collaborative approaches that merge geological mapping, structural interpretation, geochemical data, and petrophysical analysis with advanced geophysical techniques provide deeper insights into subsurface systems and significantly reduce exploration risk.
In mineral exploration, especially for critical and strategic resources like lithium and rare earth elements, combining geophysical data (gravity, magnetics, EM, IP) with geological models improves the targeting of ore bodies and alteration zones. For hydrocarbons, integrating seismic data with structural and stratigraphic interpretation enhances reservoir prediction and reduces drilling uncertainties. In geothermal exploration, joint studies support the identification of heat sources, fluid pathways, and reservoir boundaries through the integration of resistivity, MT, gravity, and geological data.
This session invites contributions that showcase integrated exploration workflows, case studies from different resource types, advancements in joint inversion and 3D modeling, and examples of successful interdisciplinary collaboration between geologists and geophysicists. Applications across early reconnaissance to advanced drilling support stages are welcome.
