14 The Geological Surveying and Investigation in 3 Dimensions (GSI3D) software tool and 15 methodology has been developed over the last 15 years. Since 2001 this has been in 16 cooperation with the British Geological Survey (BGS). To-date over a hundred BGS 17 geologists have learned to use the software that is now routinely deployed in building 18 systematic and commercial 3D geological models...

Regional scale geological maps are still not available for many remote parts of the Earth. All geological maps contain two fundamental pieces of information: a) lithological data: a list of the various rock types present, and b) structural data: geometrical information that describes the spatial relationships of the various rock units. For the purposes of regional scale geological mapping the s...

abstract: the aim of this study is analysis of drainage basins neotectonic in the north slope of bozqoosh mountains by geomorphological methods. to attain this aim, it used of field observation, areal photographs and five geomorphic indexes in 20 basins of the north slope of bozqoosh mountains. indexes were calculated by topography maps (1: 50000), geological maps (1: 100000) and areal photogr...

1. introduction nowadays, remote sensing is considered as an important subject in many field studies, like agronomy, hydrogeology, mineral exploration, geography and geology. this knowledge has been applied in most of the geological fields. the significant application of remote sensing is preparation of lineament maps that is an important issue in the geological studies. in the remote sensing s...

We present maps of the topographic roughness of the Moon at hectometer and kilometer scales. The maps are derived from range profiles obtained by the Lunar Orbiter Laser Altimeter (LOLA) instrument onboard the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO) spacecraft. As roughness measures, we used the interquartile range of profile curvature at several baselines, from 115 m to 1.8 km, and plotted these in...

We report on the second and final year of geological mapping in the Nakina area, conducted under the Atlin Targeted Geoscience Initiative (TGI). Principal aims of the TGI are to create a legacy of high quality geoscience data that will stimulate geological resource exploration, and regional economic development (see Atlin TGI Part I). Geological maps produced as part of the project portray base...

In this paper, we used 3D modeling and nonlinear methods (fractal, multifractal, and probabilistic neural networks (PNN)) for regional mineral potential mapping and quantitative assessment for porphyry and skarn-type Mo deposits and hydrothermal vein-type Pb–Zn–Ag deposits in the Luanchuan region, China. A 3D geological model was constructed from various geological maps, cross sections, borehol...

eshtehard aquifers are shoor river's catchment basin and water potential in different areas. eshtehard aquifers, because of the diversity of geological formations and structures have different quality and quantity. this paper aims, to determine the relationship between quantitative and qualitative characteristics of water resources with the lithology and structural geological features of t...
