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.

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.

or Node Locked or Trial Licences:
-
Download the software
-
Run set up file to
Install on your PC
-
Start up TSG, a

TSG Demonstration Data Sets supplied by AusSpec
There are two demonstration datasets here to assist
you in getting started with TSG and becoming
familiar with some of the functions. The first is
called WA_Regolith, this is a fairly small
dataset of only 66 samples but is useful for
exploring most of the main TSG functions.
Also available is the demonstration dataset
Fosterville. Fosterville is a much larger
dataset of around 761 samples which has been
included for the principal purpose of demonstrating
the powerful features available in the Scatter plot
screen.
