Using the RockWorks Playlist to Process Electromagnetic Survey Data
This case study describes using an electromagnetometer to survey a site where the bodies of nine soldiers were reportedly buried during the American Revolution in 1776. RockWorks was used to identify anomalously conductive targets in the survey data by adding the processing steps to an automated Playlist, with a goal of generating an archeological excavation plan. Automating the process using a Playlist can serve as a template for other studies. (16 pages)
Using a Digital Cone Penetrometer to Locate Clandestine Grave Sites
This case study describes using a cone penetrometer to measure soil compaction, importing the data into RockWorks, and creating compaction models for display as block models, 3D fence diagrams, and maps. (8 pages)
3D Visualization of Seismic Activity Associated with the Nazca and South American Plate Subduction Zone
The purpose of this study is to visualize seismic activity along the western coast of Chile where the Nazca plate is subducting beneath the South American plate. It includes downloading satellite imagery and earthquake measurements, visualizing the images and 3D earthquake spheres in RockWorks, fitting a surface model to the epicenters, truncating and smoothing this plate boundary surface, computing the subduction angle, and creating a solid model based on earthquake magnitudes.
