Abstract

Visualization of geologic subsurface data using 3D modeling software
Track: Mining and Geosciences
Authors: Chad Flynn, David Hankins

Trihydro has progressed from creating hand sketched cross section diagrams to using ArcGIS as a drawing tool, striving to utilize our data to its fullest extent. Through the use of 3D modeling software we have been able to import data and display accurate representations of sub-surface geology. This presentation will cover our GIS department’s maturation into this new technology and discuss pitfalls as well as tips and tricks to optimize visualization and analysis of sub-surface data.
