subsurface mapping

Subsurface mapping is the process of creating detailed representations of what lies beneath the Earth's surface, such as rocks, minerals, and water. This involves using techniques like geology, geophysics, and hydrogeology to gather data about different layers underground. These maps are crucial for various applications, including natural resource management, environmental assessment, and construction planning. By understanding what’s below, scientists and engineers can make informed decisions about how to safely and efficiently use the land. Subsurface mapping helps us visualize complex underground structures that are otherwise hidden from view.
