Two data sets commonly used for geological resource assessment include bedrock geology and stream-sediment geochemistry. Traditional methods for determining relationships between these data include both qualitative and quantitative techniques. Qualitative interpretation and integration is generally based upon visual observations of spatial coincidence between the data. Quantitative results can ...

Spatial data contain information about both the attribute of interest as well as its location. Examples can be found in a large number of disciplines including ecology, geology, epidemiology, geography, image analysis, meteorology, forestry, and geosciences. The location may be a set of coordinates, such as the latitude and longitude associated with an observed pollutant level, or it may be a s...

Onsite measurements are the standard for establishing geological conditions and related transport properties. However, making direct is not always possible, either because a location too remote, vast, or access outright denied. The latter typically case at nuclear test sites, military installations. Here we describe systematic method to characterize geology estimate fracture width, spacing, tor...
