509 CANCELLED-Geological Mapping.

Geological mapping is an essential service that facilitates stewardship of energy, minerals, water, hazards, infrastructure, and natural heritage. Paper maps still have a role, while machine-readable, seamless, zoomable, 3D databases increasingly are the norm. With emphasis on the US, the course will cover digital mapping; 2D and 3D methods; soil, surficial, bedrock, and basement mapping; basin analysis and stratigraphic naming; surveys and databases for elevation, bathymetry, remote sensing, geophysics, offshore surveys, field observations, drilling, analyses, and drillhole compilations; history of geological mapping; applications; cost/benefit; global, continental, national, detailed, and urban resolution; dissemination; as well as planning, funding, and administration
