FOURTH EDITION - 2001
The first edition of the Field Geologists’ Manual was prepared between 1971 and 1976. It was based on a collection of reference material the compiler used while supervising a group of multinational geologists for an emerging mineral exploration company. The collection was originally intended to be the nucleus of an in-house reference manual, but that proposal disappeared, like so many other projects, with the collapse of the ‘Poseidon’ nickel boom in 1972.
The collection of reference material grew, with the active encouragement of Mr David McGarry and the Committee of the Sydney Branch of The Institute, into the 1st (1976) edition of this Manual. This edition was reprinted, as were the 2nd (1982) and 3rd (1990) editions. This 4th edition marks the 25th birthday of the Manual. It was prepared to maintain the Manual’s value as a comprehensive reference for field geoscience work. For this review the utility of each section of the Manual was assessed by Hugh Rutter and the staff of the Flagstaff GeoConsultants group. Many areas for revision were identified. However, many of the data, formulae and tables of the original (1976) Manual were retained after upgrading. This process of retaining basic information while adding new material is the cause of the growth of the Manual, from 295 pages in 1976 to about 400 pages in 2001.
The revision was supported by Dr Neil Williams, the Director of the Australian Geological Survey Organisation (AGSO), who encouraged input from AGSO specialists, with their contributions channelled through Ms Louise Mitchell. Practically every stage in Section 2 ‘Minerals and Rock Information’ and Section 5 ‘Geological Mapping’ was reviewed by an AGSO officer, and revised where necessary. As part of this process the Geological Time Scale (Section 5.5) was updated under the direction of Dr G C Chaproniere, and the Abridged Guide to Stratigraphic Nomenclature in Australia (Section 5.7) was revised by Albert Brakel.
A new section on Regolith Terminology was provided by Dr Graham Taylor of the CRC LME at the University of Canberra. Part 4.3 ‘Commercial Factors for Common Ores’ was completely revised, with assistance from Dr Ian Lambert and other AGSO geoscientists, and from consulting metallurgist Jim Woodcock. Flagstaff and other specialists added new information in this and earlier sections, on kimberlite and diamonds. Section 7 ‘Engineering Geology’ was updated by Robert L Smith, geotechnical engineer at the Perth office of Gutteridge Haskins and Davey Pty. Ltd., and Section 8 ‘Hydrogeology’ was modernised by Rob Ellis of the Queensland Department of Natural Resources. Flagstaff GeoConsultants revised the material in Section 9 ‘Geophysics’. Many other people have helped with this edition – far too many to thank individually on this page. Their assistance is much appreciated, and each individual’s assistance is acknowledged in a footnote to their contribution.
The Institute’s Publications Committee suggested, early in the revision process, that information could be provided on computer applications and information technology in geoscience. This was not achieved, but the Manual has been provided in CD format.
