Information Synthesis for Mineral Exploration (Spatial Information Systems (Cloth))

von Guocheng Pan Kategorie: Geophysik ISBN: 0195118480 Kommentar abgeben

Synopsis This work aims to convey the theme of broad interaction of modern mineral exploration activities. It forms the foundation of successful exploration programmes in the sense that it advocates the scientific and objective use of all relevant geoscience information in exploration. It covers various technical aspects that are required for successful information synthesis, such as geographic information systems (GIS) for spatial database management, statistics for measuring variable relations, image processing for information enhancement, geostatistics for spatial data modelling, and favourability and neural networks modelling for mineral and petroleum mapping. Although the fields relevant to exploration are diverse, the book focuses on those that are fundamental and accessible to practictioners. Most quantitative techniques included here have proven records in practice. Simplicity is a principle for the authors in selecting and presenting the contents of this book, and real-case studies are presented where necessary to demonstrate the implementation of the methodologies.
