Field of Application:

This hackathon – hosted by ZEISS Microscopy at AGU 2017 – aims to bring microstructural analysis into the digital age, using digital tools to give insights into our data that were previously inaccessible, or tedious and painstaking to extract.

Each team will choose a challenge with the winners receiving a prize of ZEISS field binoculars or handheld magnifiers. Challenges include:

Mineralogical segmentation of optical petrography datasets
Correlative mineral identification using both light and electron microscopy dataset
3D mineral identification using correlated electron and X-ray microscopy dataset
3D lithological classification of heterogeneous samples All levels of coding are welcome, and assistance will be provided for those who want to learn.

Please bring your own laptop.

3D Mineralogy of a sandstone, found by correlating 2D EDS and 3D X-ray microscopy, and using machine learning to extrapolate classifications into 3D.
