“…Increasing use of multi-thematic applied geology maps and information resulted in greater appreciation of the variability of the properties of the ground and its potential impact on land-use development (Ellison et al, 1998). Similarly, 3D geological models, often classified according to their lithological, stratigraphical, hydrogeological or geotechnical properties, are increasingly used for ground investigation planning and to minimise the risk of encountering unforeseen ground conditions or reducing the vulnerability of aquifers to pollution (Culshaw, 2005;Ford et al, 2008;Lelliott et al, 2006;Merritt et al, 2007;Price et al, 2010;Royse et al, 2009a;Royse et al, 2006;Royse et al, 2009b).…”

Over half of the world's population now live in cities. In 2011 it was estimated that the global population exceeded 7 billion. Pressures on the environment including land-use are increasing. The ground beneath cities and the interaction between physical, biological and chemical processes, provides natural capital on which society depends. These benefits and the ground properties and processes that support and deliver them, can be considered ecosystem services.Characterising the ground properties on which ecosystem services depend, involves a qualitative assessment of positive and negative impacts of proposed urban sustainability solutions, including use of the ground. The sustainability of a proposed solution depends on how the future might unfold. Future scenario analysis allows consideration of the social, technological, economic, environmental and political changes that may determine the ability of a proposed solution to deliver its benefits now and in the future. Analysis of the positive and negative impacts of a proposed use of the ground on ecosystem function, measured against future scenarios of change, can be integrated to deliver strategies for the future management of the ground and the wider environment beneath cities.

The ability to extract properties from 3D geological framework models for use in the construction of conceptual and mathematical models is seen as increasingly important, however, tools and techniques are needed to support such information flows. Developing such methodologies will maximize the opportunity for information use and re-use, this is particularly important as the true value of such assets is not always known when they are first acquired. This paper briefly describes the cultural and technical challenges associated with the application of information derived from 3D geological framework models by hydrogeological process models. We examine how these issues are being addressed and present a tool, SurfGrid, which allows a user to generate 3D grids (voxels) of parameterized data from a series of geological surfaces. The procedures and tools described offer the ability to re-use expensively created assets by providing user friendly techniques that enable multidisciplinary scientists to extrapolate property distributions from geological models.
