Compiling regional structures in geological databases: The giant quartz veins of the Pyrenees as a case study

Gathering and arranging specific data related to different types of geological structures in thematic interactive databases has become central for the geosciences. However, a well-defined workflow achieve this goal is currently lacking. We present Geographical Information System-based method systematic compilation, evaluation, interpretation regional structures. The demonstrated by indexing 741 giant quartz veins cropping out along Pyrenees (SW Europe) database called GIVEPY (GIant VEins PYrenees). incorporates information geometry, distribution, statistics indexed veins, as well their host rocks, can serve starting point boosting understanding other areas. first-order structural controls on vein emplacement are hypothesized basis distribution linkage with brittle ductile structures, such faults, folds, shear zones, foliations. Furthermore, we discuss strengths limitations its potential application dynamic freely available at https://givepy.info/.
