Several methods are available for integrating geophysical, geological, and remote sensing data sets and also for integrating them with additional information such as newly observed geophysical and geological data. Several published reports discuss successful application of different types of spatial information integration techniques including the geographical information system (GIs). There ha...

Geo-anomalies with complex structures in the earth’s crust may be defined as preferable hydrothermal oreforming targets. The separation and explanation of anomaly from geological background have a profound influence on the analysis of geological evolution and the ore-forming process. Usually one of the key steps to identify favorable exploration targets is to determine the threshold to separate...

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...

Geological information can be used to solve many practical and theoretical problems, both within and outside of the discipline of geology. These include analysis of ground stability, predicting sub-surface water or hydrocarbon reserves, and assessment of risk due to natural hazards. In many cases, geological information is provided as an a priori component of the solution (that is, information ...

The use of digital information in geological fields is becoming very important. Thus, informatization in geological surveys should not stagnate as a result of the level of data accumulation. The integration and sharing of distributed, multi-source, heterogeneous geological information is an open problem in geological domains. Applications and services use geological spatial data with many featu...

This study evaluates alternative groundwater models with different recharge and geologic components at the northern Yucca Flat area of the Death Valley Regional Flow System (DVRFS), USA. Recharge over the DVRFS has been estimated using five methods, and five geological interpretations are available at the northern Yucca Flat area. Combining the recharge and geological components together with a...

The 0908 typhoon “Morakot” heavily attacked Taiwan. It brought strong rainfall which not only caused water level rise in several reservoirs and rivers, but also triggered a large number of landslides, debris flow, collapse and other geological disasters. All of these changes resulted in flooding, and for the worst, several villages were buried. In this paper, using NDVI(Normal Differential Vege...

The paper describes combinatorial framework for planning of geological exploration for oil-gas fields. The suggested scheme of the geological exploration involves the following stages: (1) building of special 4-layer tree-like model (layer of geological exploration): productive layer, group of productive layers, oil-gas field, oil-gas region (or group of the fields); (2) generations of local de...
