AACR2 Geologist Geochemist Ryan Noble is a geochemist whose research has direct application to the minerals exploration industry. His work has included numerous regolith and groundwater geochemistry projects related to gold, base metal, Ni, and U mineral exploration, with more recent studies on clay-sized fraction chemistry and spectral mineralogy using machine learning to put the results into landscape contexts. He established a comprehensive groundwater dataset and was involved in research into gas geochemistry. His work has included the development of ground-breaking soil analysis technology UltraFine+®, a gold exploration technique, with partners including the Minerals Research Institute of Western Australia and the Geological Survey of Western Australia. In 2009 Noble joined the CSIRO, where he is now Senior Principal Research Scientist and the Group Leader of Predictive Mineral Systems Science. In 2024 he was awarded the Roy Woodall Medal for his leadership in advancing the scientific understanding of soil, regolith, groundwater, and gas geochemistry methodology. 2000 2000 Education - BSc, University of Tennessee, Knoxville, Tennessee, U.S.A. 2002 2002 Education - MSc, University of Tennessee, Knoxville, Tennessee, U.S.A. 2007 2007 Education - PhD, Curtin University 2009 2009 Career event - Joined CSIRO 2010 Career position - Member of Council, Association of Applied Geochemists 2016 2017 Career position - President, Association of Applied Geochemists 2019 Career position - Representative of the Association of Applied Geochemists, Australian Geoscience Council 2023 2023 Award - Silver Medal, Association of Applied Geochemists 2024 2024 Award - Roy Woodall Medal, Australian Geosciences Council Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO), Commonwealth of Australia (1949 - )
