Digital Geologic Mapping

Digital Geologic Mapping involves using computer technology and digital tools to create detailed maps of the Earth's surface geology. Instead of traditional paper maps, geologists collect data in the field with GPS and tablets, recording information about rocks, faults, and soil types. This data is then processed and visualized using specialized software, resulting in accurate, easily updated maps that help understand geological features and assess natural resources, hazards, or land use. It enhances efficiency, precision, and sharing capabilities compared to traditional methods, supporting informed decision-making in environmental and engineering projects.
