Listen "ANDY ROBERTSON'S LEGACY"
Episode Synopsis
Season 2 of Getting Closure continues to explore the principles and people behind responsible mine closure and reclamation, beginning with an interview with a giant in the field, Dr. Andy Robertson.
Andy is the "R" in SRK consulting, the creator of the first database for ore-deposit modelling and open-pit mine software that ran on personal computers, and InfoMine, one of the first attempts to spread mining information through what was then a very early version of the internet. Since 1994, he’s run Robertson Geoconsultants, which specializes in tailings and waste rock stability and geochemistry. No matter where you go in this business, it’s impossible not run into his legacy, and podcast host Mike O’Kane is no exception
