3D Models allow the integrated view of the surface, as well as the subsurface geology and relevant information of related processes.

3D Models allow the integrated view of the surface, as well as the subsurface geology and relevant information of related processes.

The internet platform www.3d-geology.de is our contribution to the International Year of Planet Earth    (IYPE). Major objective is the bundling of information and best praxis examples of modelling results in new fields of application. 3D-Modelling provides an essential input of knowledge to the subsurface and will be a future-oriented management tool of natural resources.

GIS4Geology - GIS for geological modelling approaches

GIS4Geology is an open-source QGIS plugin designed for the creation of geological cross sections. It requires data such as a Digital Elevation Model (DEM), borehole data, and a geological map. This powerful tool enables users to perform various tasks related to geological modeling. It allows the generation of an initial empty cross section based on the DEM, which can then be populated with information from the borehole data. Additionally, users can draw and digitize geological cross sections. The next development goal is to further enhance the software's capabilities by enabling the creation of comprehensive geological models based on the generated cross sections.
