3D geoscience modeling

This book introduces an integrated, three-dimensional approach to geological characterization using a computer, covering information management, geological interpretation and modeling, geostatistical analysis and prediction, spatial analysis, risk assessment and computer visualization. It emphasizes the practical application of modern computer techniques, and provides the necessary theoretical detail and background.

The book includes case studies of applications to soil contamination assessment, hazardous waste site characterization, mineral deposit evaluation, oil reservoir evaluation and geotechnical investigation, and contains numerous gray scale and color illustrations from computer visualization.
