This hands-on short course will be focused on the management, analysis, and visualization of geological data based on boreholes, measured sections, surface samples, etc. Specific topics include the management of geophysical, geochemical, lithologic, stratigraphic, hydrologic, and structural data from vertical, inclined, and deviated boreholes and measured sections. Output and analytical topics will include surface models, striplogs, cross sections, fence diagrams, and solid modeling. Special emphasis will be placed on three-dimensional graphics and computing the volume and mass properties of geological features such as contaminant plumes, ore bodies, aquifers, and hydrocarbon reservoirs.

Additional topics will include gridding/contouring, model manipulations, advanced volumetrics, hydrological and hydrochemical tools (drawdown, Piper and Stiff plots), 2D and 3D feature analysis (rose and stereonet diagrams, lineation maps and densities), statistical computations and diagrams (histograms, scatterplots, ternary plots), survey mapping, and coordinate conversions.
