Integrated geological modelling for exploration

I work on 3D geological modelling and integrated interpretation for mining and geothermal projects, combining structural geology, geophysics and geochemistry into coherent geological models.

My work is focused on practical exploration questions: how geological architecture, structures, alteration, geophysical signatures and geochemical patterns combine into a defensible model.

  • Degree in Geology
  • Master in Exploration Geophysics
  • PhD in exploration of fault-controlled high‑enthalpy geothermal systems
  • Postdoctoral research in regional 3D modelling applied to mineral systems

Expertise

Exploration support through the integration of structural geology, geophysics and geochemistry into combined 3D geological models, using a systems approach for mineral and geothermal projects.

Modelling

3D geological modelling

Geological models built from drillholes, mapping, structural data, geophysics, geochemistry and interpretation.

Interpretation

Mining systems

Structural interpretation, vein modelling, mineralised domains and target-scale integration for exploration and model validation.

Geothermal

High‑enthalpy geothermal

Conceptual modelling and structural interpretation of fault-controlled geothermal systems.

Field-based geological thinking, integrated with 3D modelling and geophysical interpretation.

Professional associations

Selected professional roles and collaborations supporting mining projects, software training and applied geological modelling.

Mining

Associate work with Fault Rocks

Gemma works as an associate to Fault Rocks Inc, a Vancouver-based structural geology consultancy led by Dr. Matias Sanchez.

Since 2025, selected mining assignments have been carried out through Fault Rocks, with Gemma contributing to geological interpretation and 3D modelling.

Software

Seequent associate for Leapfrog training

Gemma is a Seequent associate for Leapfrog training, with applied experience in Leapfrog Geo and geophysical workflows including Oasis montaj.

Training and teaching

Teaching and specialised training for geoscientists, students and technical teams, focused on geological modelling, hydrogeology, geophysical exploration and subsurface workflows.

Bothroi project

Interactive training project for exploration courses, turning exploration and targeting into a competition. Participants learn to integrate geological, geophysical and geochemical datasets into exploration decisions and 3D modelling workflows. Developed jointly with Dr. Diego Dominguez‑Carretero.
