Vox aims to support mineral explorers by providing robust geophysical models and integrated interpretations
Our Team
Vox geophysicists are PhD-level experts with internationally recognised skills in their fields.
Vox Chief Geophysicist and Managing Director, Dr Kate Selway, gained her PhD in 2006, pioneering the use of MT in central Australia. Until founding Vox in 2022, Kate worked as a university researcher and lecturer in MT and EM geophysics, including at the University of Adelaide, Yale, Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory (Columbia University), the University of Oslo, Macquarie University and the University of South Australia, and she is currently an Adjunct Professor at the University of Tasmania. Kate has extensive field experience and has led MT campaigns throughout Australia as well as in Antarctica, Greenland, Svalbard and East Africa. In both research and exploration, Kate’s goal has always been to develop meaningful and useful interpretations of geophysical models, and she has authored over 50 scientific articles on the topic. She has advanced knowledge of the links between subsurface resistivity and alteration, and has developed tools to extract subsurface composition from combined geophysical datasets. Through Vox, Kate is passionate about helping explorers to understand their geophysical models and to use them to understand the subsurface.
Vox Principal Geophysicist Dr Teagan Blaikie gained her PhD in 2014, focused on the interpretation and modelling of potential field data. She began her career as a postdoctoral researcher at CSIRO, embedded within the Northern Territory Geological Survey in Darwin, before relocating to Perth to take up a role as a Research Scientist with CSIRO. During this time, her work applied gravity and magnetic interpretation to better understand the structural architecture of the Southern McArthur Basin and its implications for SEDEX deposit formation. She also delivered regional-scale lithostructural interpretation and tectonic correlations across the Tanami Region and the northwest Aileron province. In 2021, Teagan moved into consulting as Principal Interpretation Geoscientist at Southern Geoscience Consultants, specialising in the geological interpretation and modelling of potential field data across a wide range of terranes and commodities. She also coordinated and helped teach training workshops on the geological interpretation of aeromagnetic data. Teagan retains a casual lecturing role at Curtin University, teaching magnetic and gravity interpretation and modelling to the next generation of geophysicists.
Expert Analysis and Integrated interpretations
Exploration requires every scrap of data to be understood, taken advantage of, and integrated.
Vox are passionate about helping explorers make the most out of their geophysical data. By integrating geophysical, petrophysical, geological and geochemical data, Vox have the skills to produce meaningful, integrated interpretations. Our goal is to help explorers move beyond using their geophysical data to simply target anomalies. Instead, we can help explorers understand what their geophysical data are telling them about the composition and structure of the subsurface and to identify regions where geological processes may have led to mineralisation.
