The application of GIS in identifying mineral resources in Libya

Contribution to the Valorization of the National Geological Heritage, Morocco

“…This encourages "inventory" type studies in which geologists rarely carry out, but which have a fundamental role in raising public awareness of the safeguarding, enhancement and rational use of this heritage. Geographic Information Systems (GIS) are often referred to a spacial information systems, especially when combined with their allied fields of remote sensing and surveying, and because of GIS superiority upon all other systems in data entering and analyzing, researchers tasks will be more simple and easy, and reflect the actual dealing with technology; thus reduce cost and give more assessment for better productivity enhancement (Bohman-Carte, 1994;Rekhibi et al, 2005).This work is an attempt to integrate all the data avaible concerning the national geological heritage in Morocco. Remotely sensed data along with other information are collected and stored in GIS data base.…”
