Spatial and Temporal Database Support for Geologists – An Example from the Lower Rhine Basin
نویسندگان
چکیده
Within the collaborative research centre SFB350 at the University of Bonn a component software called GeoToolKit has been developed, which is intended to facilitate the design and implementation of 3D/4D geological applications. It provides a range of geo-oriented software building blocks for application developers involving database management system based spatial and temporal data maintenance, support for efficient spatial and temporal retrieval, communication, visualization and graphical interfaces which the user could assemble in a ready-to-use application. As such, GeoToolKit is not a GIS-in-a-box package – rather it is a library of C++ classes that allows the incorporation of spatial functionality within an application under development. It is primarily oriented towards software engineers with the C++ experience involved in the development of specialpurpose geological applications, which can hardly be modelled within standard GISs. We present applications using GeoToolKit, which have been developed to support the geological reconstruction of the Lower Rhine Basin.

Towards a balanced 3D kinematic model of a faulted domain – the Bergheim open pit mine, Lower Rhine Basin
In the context of the investigation of the sedimentary and structural evolution of the Cenozoic Lower Rhine Basin, the construction of a volume-balanced kinematic model of a small faulted domain with detailed spatial information on strata and fault geometry from a set of parallel geological sections is under development. A 3D geometry model is built that allows for relative movements of blocks ...
متن کاملAnalysis of the Spatial and Temporal Suspended sediment of Qarahsu Drainage Basin
This study is aimed at estimating suspended sediment load in watersheds using hydro-climatic factors with the intent to determine spatial and temporal variations of sediment yield in Qarah Su drainage basin, Ardebil Province. For this study, data from seven rain gauge and hydrometric stations during a 22-year period were used. The research was based on statistical regression analysis between va...
متن کاملExamination of Database Supported Spatio - Temporal Intersection
The quickly increasing number of spatio-temporal applications in fields like environmental monitoring, geology and mobile communication is a new challenge to the development of geo-databases. However, the query functionality of today ́s geo-information systems is still limited to the thematic attributes of spatial objects and to spatial 2D objects. In this paper we present two examples for the d...
