Geological modelling systems

This team develops leading edge geological modelling systems in support of BGS Science and Information Services, facilitating the change from a 2D mapping to a 3D/4D modelling culture. We develop documented workflows for the production and storage of standard LithoFrame models, along with the tools and training necessary for modellers to use these workflows.

We will work closely with other BGS teams and external clients to:

  • ensure the systems developed are fit for purpose
  • enable the spatial integration of domain-specific process and confidence models
  • develop innovative, derived products and services

The team has 2 main project areas:

  • The development of the GSI3D modelling software and model delivery tools
  • The development of the underpinning workflow and storage for geological models

Completed research in this area are published in the Digital Geoscience Spatial Model (DGSM) Research Report.
