The Spectral Geologist

The Spectral Geologist (TSG™), developed by the CSIRO,  is the industry standard tool for geological analysis of spectral reflectance data of minerals, rocks and soils, including drill cores and chips.

There are a variety of TSG solutions available, whatever your spectral requirements are:

	TSG Pro >Industry standard >Includes TSA >Med sized data sets >12 months free support		TSG Core >Adv. functionality >HyLogging data >50k+ data sets >12 months free support
	TSG Viewer >Low cost viewer of processed TSG files >Educational tool >12 months free support		TSG Lite >Low cost entry level version >No TSA >12 months free support

Since it first came out, TSG™ has revolutionized the way that geological spectral data are processed and analysed. Spectra are not treated in isolation, but as a project data set with all your ancillary project data combined and organised together in the TSG file along with your spectral data.

This means that your spectral data can easily be analysed in the context of your project geology, and contribute directly to understanding the alteration and mineralisation relationships in the project area.

Most importantly for geoscientists, the TSG interface has been designed specifically for geological applications. The analysis techniques available in TSG focus on the applications of using spectral data for targeting mineralisation, including methods for mapping mineral assemblages, applications of spectral parameters for automated logging/mapping, deposit characterisation and developing vectors to mineralisation.

The elegant simplicity of TSG is reflected in the structure of the package which revolves around the different TSG Screens, each of which allows users to look at their data differently.  From the Spectrum screen, where individual spectra can be studied, to the Log and Scatter screens where you can view down hole overviews or spatial plots/sections containing thousands of spectra and associated data.
