The 2nd CCOP-CGS IGDP Training/Workshop held in Kunming
The Second Workshop/Training of the CCOP-CGS Project on Integrated Geophysical and Geochemical Data Processing (IGDP) was held on 22-24 August 2014 in Kunming, China hosted and funded by China Geological Survey (CGS) in cooperation with CCOP. This activity was co-organized by the Development and Research Center (DRC), CGS and Yunnan Information Center of Geology and Mineral Resources (YICGMR). There were 44 participants in the workshop/training from CCOP and ASEAN countries: Cambodia, China, Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, Myanmar, Philippines, Thailand and Vietnam, and other countries: People’s Republic of Korea, Pakistan, Peru and Sri Lanka.
Mr Ma Yongzheng, Deputy Permanent Representative of China to CCOP, Division Director, Department of International Cooperation, Science & Technology , Ministry of Land and Resources, officially opened the workshop.

Dr Zhang Minghua, IGDP Project Leader and Division Director, DRC, CGS introduced the IGDP Project by presenting the general concept of geophysical exploration, its methods and applications, gave an overview of the IGDP software, its general function, geophysical/geochemical/geological databases, and gravity / magnetic / data processing application. He also briefed the participants on the long-standing cooperation with CCOP and ASEAN in the sector of geoinformation. Chinese Experts from CGS ran the training session in the use of the IGDP Software, which were provided to all the participants of the training.
There were 3 case studies presented by Resource Persons from China, Thailand and Indonesia. On behalf of Prof Zhao Genxin, Dr Su Yongjun of Tianjin Center, CGS presented on the application of gravity survey with 1:50,000 on concealed iron deposit and geological structure study in East HebeiProvince. Mr Pasakorn Paopongsawan of the Department of Mineral Resources, Thailand presented on the application of geochemical data for environmental monitoring in Rayong Province, Eastern Region, Thailand. Mr Tony Rahadinata of the Geological Agency of Indonesia, presented on integrated geological, geophysical and geochemical (3G) data for geothermal prospecting at Gn. Talang area, Indonesia.
