Prof John Carranza is BSc in geology (Philippines), MSc (with distinction) in mineral exploration (Netherlands), and PhD in GIS-based mineral potential mapping (Netherlands). His professional mission is to develop and disseminate expertise/knowledge in predicting mineral resources and geological hazards through understanding of relevant earth systems and application of GIS and earth observation. He has written and published a book on “Geochemical Anomaly and Mineral Prospectivity Mapping in GIS”.
Research interests
- Spatial mathematics/statistics for predictive modelling of mineral resources and geological hazards,
- Geochemistry for mineral exploration, ore genesis and geo-environmental studies, and
- Remote sensing for geological/mineral exploration.
