In the Bridge River mining camp the federal-provincial aeromagnetic maps, Tyaughton Lake (92Ji15) and Bridge River (92Ji16). at 1:63 360 scale, provide a ready base for analysis. Regional geological control is provided by current mapping and by the Geological Survey Branch (Open File Map 1987I I , Geology o j rhe Gold Bridge Area) and previous work by Leech (1953). Roddick and Hutchinson (1973)...

The present study deals with the estimation of the advanced spaceborne thermal emission and reflection radiometer (ASTER) data for geological application. Visible, near-infrared and short wave infrared reflectance data (9 ASTER bands) have been processed and interpreted in framework of a mapping project concerning the western margin of the Kalahari desert. A methodology has been applied to appa...

Study of a mature petroleum play in the Western Canada Sedimentary Basin (WCSB) indicates that the spatial distribution of petroleum accumulations exhibits a self-affinity characteristic. This characteristic motivated the examination of a fractal model for a quantitative description of petroleum resource spatial distribution. The proposed approach transforms the spatial information with respect...

Geological disaster causes loss of lives and damage to man-made and natural stuctures. In this paper, a coupling method with optimal combination weighing law and extension model was established. Based on dynamic impact factors such as forest coverage, annual average rainfall, topography and gemorphogy, geologic structure, and type of rock and soil, the amount of disaster points and human engine...

Two-dimensional GIS are extensively used in geology to create, analyse, and interpret geological map models. However, these systems are unable to represent the Earth’s subsurface in three spatial dimensions. The objective of this article is to overcome this deficiency and to provide a general framework for a 3d GIS. The presented approach is based on existing 3d geomodelling theory and software...
