We report on the second and final year of geological mapping in the Nakina area, conducted under the Atlin Targeted Geoscience Initiative (TGI). Principal aims of the TGI are to create a legacy of high quality geoscience data that will stimulate geological resource exploration, and regional economic development (see Atlin TGI Part I). Geological maps produced as part of the project portray base...

the proposal of geomorphologic matters in relation to tourism is one of interdisciplinary research approaches that has been considered in recent years. in this manner, geomorphological sites are defined as geomorphological landforms and processes that have acquired a scenic/aesthetic, scientific, cultural/historical and/or a social/economic value due to human perception of geological, geomorpho...

Geology is a complex, semantically rich domain involving the interpretation of geological maps as external visualizations. Geological maps are complex in particular because 3-dimensional features must be inferred from 2-dimensional representations depicted by differing line types and weights. Modeling building, as an internal mental activity, is also required in order to achieve deep understand...

The Nechako NATMAP project is a joint mapping venture between the Geological Survey of Canada (GSC) and the British Columbia Geological Survey Branch (BCGSB). This was the fifth and final year of the project which encompasses more than 30 000 square kilometres in central British Columbia (Figure 1). The primary objective of the project has been to improve the quality and detail of bedrock and s...

The usefulness of online geological maps is hindered by linguistic barriers. Multilingual geoscience thesauri alleviate linguistic barriers of geological maps. However, the benefits of multilingual geoscience thesauri for online geological maps are less studied. In this regard, we developed a multilingual thesaurus of geological time scale (GTS) to alleviate linguistic barriers of GTS records a...
