LandScape+® - Explore with context

Join this practical workshop to develop skills in regolith interpretation and surface geochemical data analysis using LandScape+®. Learn how to generate and interpret machine-learned landscape classification and assess geochemical outliers from soil survey datasets. The training will focus on the application and interpretation of outputs to support exploration decision-making.

Why Landscape Context Matters

Traditional geochemical analysis often treats all samples as a single population, ignoring the physical landscapes that influence metal dispersion. LandScape+® changes that by allowing you to:

• Create landscape-type maps from public spatial data sets
• Treat samples as sub-populations based on landscape types
• Identify true geochemical anomalies with greater confidence
• Use landscape outputs to plan your next exploration steps

What You'll Learn

This workshop guides you through the complete workflow of LandScape+®, using an example project and with instructors at your side. You'll gain practical skills and the background knowledge to improve your survey planning and data interpretation.

Introduction

• What is LandScape+® and why it matters
• What makes "good data" - QA/QC essentials
• Applications and limitations of the tool and outputs

Uploading Data

• Understanding optimal data formats
• Identifying when data are too noisy or unhelpful for outlier detection

Area Selection

• Defining survey areas
• Using masks and buffers: what they are and why they matter

Model Interpretation

• Interpreting landscape models to identify regolith proxies
• Interpreting geochemical outliers by landscape type

Output Applications

• How your LandScape+® outputs support survey planning
• How to integrate landscape context into broader exploration strategies
• How to interpret multielement parameters (Principal Component Analysis)

Who Should Attend

• Exploration geologists/geochemists, regolith scientists
