“…As for 3D modelling, despite various experiences of geological modelling in urban environments (Maurenbrecher and Herbschleb, 1995;Ellison et al, 1996;Morfeldt and Persson, 1997;Bozzano et al, 1999;Thierry et al, 2000;Auvinet et al, 2001;Nardi, 2004, De Rienzo et al 2008), the methods still largely remain to be developed (Appel, 2006). A recently developed method using borehole descriptions (Bourgine et al, 2006) is based on the use of geostatistical tools (Chilès and Blanchin, 1995;Chilès and Delfiner, 1999;Aug, 2004).…”

Gypsum dissolution can be the cause of damage associated with subsidence and collapse.In Paris, the authorities want to refine the current maps of the areas likely to be affected by events. The mapping also revealed some sensitive areas that had not been previously identified; these will be checked by drilling. The constructed geological model and the hydrogeological analysis have already been used for studying other phenomena (e.g. sand flow and clay creep).

“…In some cases (for example, at SGU) the information from tunnels and caverns has been presented in 3D models (cf. Morfeldt and Persson, 1997;Persson, 1998). Storage of geological and engineering geological information from new sites has to be maintained to ensure the models remain up-to-date.…”

The Nordic geological surveys: Geology for society in practice

et al. 2008

Since the mid-nineteenth century, when the first of the Nordic Geological Surveys were established, they have generated a substantial amount of information on the Earth's crust, its natural resources, its processes, and on the geological history of Nordic areas. The collective mission of the geological surveys is to carry out "Geology for Society", by doing research and providing services, and by making geological information and data easily accessible to all the varied end users in industry, government agencies, government institutes, public administrations, technical offices, academia and research institutes, as well as for private individuals. The present paper gives a brief overview of a few, selected, research areas and projects currently undertaken by the Nordic geological surveys. These serve as practical examples of how the Nordic geological surveys address important societal problems and challenges that require geological input for their solution. The growing need for minerals The markets for minerals and mineral products are to some extent global, particularly those relating to ores and concentrates. There are also local markets for minerals, mainly those of lower value such as aggregate, although these may be transported very long distances. Between these, many minerals, particularly industrial minerals, span regional, national and global markets, being driven, for example, by the building of new infrastructure in emerging economies.

“…Currently, information related to the geological environment is rarely used for land use planning purposes despite the availability of a wide range of maps and informative engineering-geological reports on the subject (for instance in Willerich et al, 2009;Marschalko et al, 2012;Marschalko and Juriš, 2009;Souza et al, 2008;Brankman and Baise, 2008;Aly et al, 2005;Kiersch, 2001;Belanger and Moore, 1999;Croukamp and Rooy, 1998;Feres and Lorandi, 1998;Morfeldt and Persson, 1997;Kleb, 1997;Dai et al, 1994;Slosson, 1969). Much of this information has been used for various other purposes, including reference material, archival information prior to engineeringgeological studies and in geotechnical surveys.…”

Identification of the near-surface geological structure and deposits for land use planning purposes in the Doubrava Region (Czech Republic)

et al. 2013

The objective of this paper is to highlight the importance of taking engineering geological characteristics and structures into account in land use planning. There have been a number of studies worldwide dealing with this issue. However more extensive implementation into land use planning practice still remains a task for the future in many places. A case study analyzing the geological environment in relation to the sites assigned for future development according to an existing land use plan was conducted in the Doubrava Region (north-east of the Czech Republic). Here, the geological conditions have been mostly influenced by anthropogenic processes connected with black coal mining. The engineering-geological zones, the pre-Quaternary basement and rock workability classes in the localities where future development is proposed on land use plans were evaluated using overlay analysis in a Geographic Information System (GIS). Landscape factors were also taken into account. Significant variability was identified in the investigated geological factors that have a bearing on safe cost effective development. Use of the results in future land use planning would have considerable financial benefits in implementation of future built development and these important conditions should be used by architects and designers, builders, land use planners, developers and scientists.
