 GEON: ArcIMS Online Mapping to Facilitate Integration of Geoscience Data Track: Mining and Geosciences Author(s): J. Arrowsmith, J. Conner, G. Keller, W. Stefanov, M. Fouch, J. Yoburn, L. Prashad, C. Eisinger The Colorado Plateau-Basin and Range Transition Zone of Arizona and New Mexico comprise an important geologic setting in which the study of continental crustal evolution and deformation is particularly intensive. In addition, it is a region of rapid population growth where balancing resource use, resource preservation, and sustainable land use are increasingly important. To inform such efforts, we have gathered geological data (e.g., geologic outcrops at various scales, active fault maps), digital topography (USGS NED and SRTM 30 m), ASTER satellite imagery, and geophysical data (e.g., gravity, heat flow, seismicity, seismic anisotropy, magnetics, receiver functions, and seismic tomography) and integrated them using ArcIMS. We have also developed a Java Servlet-driven IDL-cored image processing system to produce user-specified (from imagery footprints in ArcIMS) ASTER band combinations in GeoTiff format. This data system is an initial step in the development of a seamless data and scientific analysis portal as part of the GEON project. J.
