CSIRO UltraFine+ team
The UltraFine+ Research Team combines the expertise of scientists, engineers and technicians from a multidisciplinary background.
The Team’s objective is to deliver the next generation of laboratory soil analyses with analytical tools for mineral explorers to make faster and more qualified decisions on where to explore further.
Ryan Noble
- Dr Ryan Noble is a Senior Principal Scientist and Group Leader at CSIRO Mineral Resources working on soil and water chemistry applied to mineral exploration. In the UltraFine+ project Ryan provides strategic direction for the project and works on collaboration between stakeholders, while also contributing soil science and applied interpretation of the results.
