Three-Dimensional Modeling with Geoscientific Information Systems
Three-Dimensional Modeling with Geoscientific Information Systems by A. Keith Turner, published by Springer Science & Business Media in 1992, offers a comprehensive exploration of spatial data handling within the geosciences. This edition spans 443 pages and is presented in English. The book addresses the complexities of three-dimensional modeling using geoscientific information systems, detailing various methodologies and applications relevant to geology, physics, and earth sciences.
Readers will find an in-depth examination of existing three-dimensional geoscientific information systems, including advanced modeling capabilities and techniques for efficient storage of spatial geologic data. The text covers key concepts in three-dimensional modeling, applications in hydrocarbon exploration, and discussions from a workshop involving computer scientists and geoscientists. This work serves as a resource for those interested in the intersection of computer graphics, software development, and earth sciences.
