The Exploration Geophysics Laboratory (Room 113, Steele Building) provides the physical hub of the exploration geophysics program, housing honours and postgraduate students, and in-house computing facilities. Advanced level courses are given in this laboratory, whilst lower level classes are given in larger departmental and central venues.

Equipment
The laboratory has basic field equipment for magnetics, gravity, resistivity, radiometrics, seismic refraction. Other field equipment (for land and marine seismic reflection, electromagnetics, and borehole logging) is periodically borrowed from outside organisations.

The Exploration Geophysics Laboratory maintains a data processing facility which has provided the basis for a number of research projects, particularly in geophysical data processing. The processing system is based on public domain packages such as Seismic Unix running on PC-UNIX systems.

Industry Links
A wide range of geophysical sub-branches are covered in the Exploration Geophysics Program. Links with professional organisations, other universities, and industry are essential for both teaching and research. Most honours and higher-degree students work on industry-related projects, and often work part-time in industry. Organisations who have recently provided logistical support and input include:

ASEG | Velseis | Fullagar Geophysics | Geophysical Resources and Surveys | Vale Australia | CSIRO | Origin Energy | BHP | Geological Survey of Queensland | Geoscience Australia | XStrata | Santos | Geoimage | APPEA
