Preface: Geology and information technology
نویسندگان
چکیده
The image of geologist is often associated with a “tough natural scientist” operating in the field without technology. This has changed with the large diffusion of information and communication technology; today, geologists face the digital world. The geological maps and cross sections have been fundamental for synthesizing the geological knowledge of a region, but GIS, 3D digital modelers, and web-based applications allow to easily analyze, interpolate, showing and sharing data, information, interpretations, and thoughts. This new way of operating has deeply affected the new generations of earth scientists and it changed the approach to the knowledge management in geology. In 2005, the need for communication among people working with digital tools in the earth sciences in Italy lead to the constitution of an informal group called GIT (Geology and Information Technology—www.gitonline.eu) which became later a section of the Italian Geological Society. This special issue showcases some of the main contributions to the second meeting hold in Bevagna (Perugia-, Italy) on 4–6 June 2007.

متن کاملDetermination of unstable tectonic zones in C–North deposit, Sangan, NE Iran using GPR method: importance of structural geology
Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) is an effective and practical geophysical imaging tool, with a wide set of applications in geological mapping of subsurface information. This research study aims at determination of the geophysical parameter differences in the subsurface geological structures and construction of a 3D fracture model. GPR and resistivity methods were applied to detect the unstable t...

Using Arti cial Intelligence Planning to Automate SAR Image Processing for Scienti c Data Analysis
In recent times, improvements in imaging technology have made available an incredible array of information in image format. While powerful and sophisticated image processing software tools are available to prepare and analyze the data, these tools are complex and cumbersome, requiring signi cant expertise to properly operate. Thus, in order to extract (e.g., mine or analyze) useful information ...
