Abstract:We present two Python libraries (map2loop and map2model) which combine the observations available in digital geological maps with conceptual information, including assumptions regarding the subsurface extent of faults and plutons to provide sufficient constraints to build a reasonable 3D geological model. At a regional scale, the best predictor for the 3D 15 geology of the near-subsurface is often the information contained in a geological map. This remains true even after recognising that a map is also a model… Show more
