3D modeling method is divided into geospatial modeling and 3D geological modeling. 3D geological modeling technique has become a favorable tool for people to observe and analyze the geological body enriched in mineral resources. Unlike geospatial modeling, 3D geological modeling must consider various geological conditions affecting spatial shape and petrophysical distribution of geological body...

various geological units in an area often exhibit different magnetic properties. due to this distinction in magnetic properties of the geological units, a correlation between the type of a geological unit and its magnetic response can be established. to determine the lateral and vertical extents of geological units from the magnetic data in a survey area, a number of filters for processing magn...

The Konjsko tunnel is an integral part of the Zagreb-Split-Dubrovnik highway, section Prgomet-Dugopolje. It consists of two tunnel tubes having 1326.0 and 1133.8 meters in length. The greatest overburden amounts to 150 m. This paper presents geotechnical measurement results and back numerical analyses. Back numerical analyses in combination with geotechnical measurements enable safer and more r...

Both the hardware and software available for digital geological mapping (DGM) have advanced considerably in recent years. Mobile computers have become cheaper, lighter, faster and more power efficient. Global Positioning Systems (GPS) have become cheaper, smaller and more accurate, and software specifically designed for geological mapping has become available. These advances have now reached a ...

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...

A new map and cross sections of the Khula Kangri and Kankar Pünzum-Monlakarchung High Himalayan ranges in the Tibet-Bhutan frontier area are presented from integration of unpublished mapping from the summit section of Khula Kangri and new remote sensing together with previous mapping. The ranges define an orographic bifurcation of the High Himalaya that results in a north-south repetition of th...
