Podcast Overview

Every geoscientist is capable of understanding and applying geochemical data, however, at GeocHemiSTea we understand that there is an incredible amount of nuance and accumulated knowledge. We are here to break down the impediments towards geoscientists learning more about this exciting field! Are you a student wanting to break into the field? Listen to each episode to see how reknown geochemists got to where they are today. Are you intrigued by integrating geochemistry, but don't know how? Stay tuned! Lastly are you looking for some Tea/good gossip? We got it.

The Rocks Meet Wall Street with Dave Lawie & Sam Scher

For Episode 51, the tables are turned as Imdex Chief Geologist and Technologist Dave Lawie takes over hosting duties and puts Sam in the hot seat.Fresh from the SME Current Trends in Mining Finance conference in New York City, Dave and Sam discuss the growing disconnect between how mining projects are evaluated financially and how they actually behave technically. From resource models and geometallurgy to critical minerals, permitting, and project risk, they explore why geology, mineralogy, metallurgy, and geochemistry remain central to project success. The conversation also looks at Sam's path into geochemistry, the origins of GeOCHemISTea, and the role mentorship has played throughout her career. <ul><li>How Sam found her way into geochemistry</li><li>Why technical risk is often overlooked in mining finance</li><li>The realities of critical mineral recovery</li><li>Geometallurgy, mineralogy, and project valuation</li><li>Where AI may (and may not) help the industry</li><li>Why mining needs better conversations between technical and financial teams</li></ul>A candid discussion about the assumptions, risks, and opportunities that sit between a discovery and a successful mine. <ul><li><a href="" target="_blank" rel="noopener">SME Current Trends in Mining Finance Conference</a></li><li><a href="https://www.imdex.com?utm_source=chatgpt.com" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Imdex</a></li><li><a href="" target="_blank" rel="noopener">LKI Consulting</a></li></ul>

Data Levelling Panel with Pedro Acosta-Gongora & Tom Carmichael

For our 50th episode of GeOCHemISTea, we’re doing something a little different... a panel discussion that brings together two very different perspectives on one deceptively simple problem: levelling geochemical data. Joined by a government survey geochemist, Pedro Acosta-Gongora, and a mathematical geologist, Tom Carmichael, this conversation digs into what levelling really means in practice, why it’s become standard in regional datasets, and where it can quietly distort the geological signal. From legacy data and batch effects to the tension between clean maps and real-world noise, this episode explores the intersection of applied geochemistry and data science.If you’ve ever worked with multiple datasets and wondered “can I actually trust this?...” this panel is for you.For this episode we read:<a href="https://www.lyellcollection.org/doi/full/10.1144/geochem2025-037" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">Exploratory data analysis of geochemical exploration data (Arne and Garrett, 2026)</a><a href="https://www.mdpi.com/2076-3417/15/13/7208" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">Data Leveling of Multi-Map Geochemical Exploration Data Using Compositional Data Analysis: A Case Study from the Baiyinchagan-Maodeng Area, Inner Mongolia, China (Tang et al., 2025)</a><a href="https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0375674222000863" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">Levelling of multi-generational and spatialyy isolated geochemical surveys (Main and Champion, 2022)</a><a href="https://nora.nerc.ac.uk/id/eprint/11170/1/IR05150.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">G-BASE data conditioning procedures fro stream sediment and soil chemical analyses (Lister and Johnson, 2005)</a>

From Evidence to Origin: Solving Mysteries with Isoscapes with Gabe Bowen

In this episode of GeOCHemISTea, Sam sits down with Gabe Bowen to explore the world of forensic isotope geochemistry and the power of isoscapes.From identifying where someone has lived, to reconstructing movement through hair and teeth, isotopes are becoming a powerful investigative tool—bridging geochemistry, ecology, and forensic science.They break down:<ul><li>What forensic isotope geochemistry actually is (and what it isn’t)</li><li>How isoscapes turn isotope data into geographic maps</li><li>Why hydrogen, oxygen, strontium, and sulfur matter</li><li>How hair, teeth, and bone record different parts of a life story</li><li>The role of geochemistry in solving cold cases and tracking animal movement</li></ul>And yes... there’s a detour into true crime, salmon migration, and what isotopes might reveal about your last vacation.This episode highlights how geochemistry extends far beyond rocks and into real-world problems with immediate impact.🎧 If you’ve ever wondered how geochemistry can help answer the question “Where did this come from?”... this one’s for you.
