Hi! Im working as a geologist, and im doing Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) and Screening. I need to model landscape and geology of the ground. Can i do it with microstation or autocad…or are there any specific programs for that kind of modelling? http://www.rockware.com/product/overview.php?id=164 Quite expensive, but relatively inexpensive for a company. And MapInfo Professional is used extensively in geographical/geological statistical mapping, obviously. http://www.mapinfo.com/products/applications/mapping-and-analytical-applications/mapinfo-professional ArcGis is another professional option. Inexpensive options for geological mapping software include: More general landscape modeling/rendering software: The list goes on and on – have a look here for an exhaustive list: http://www.3dlinks.com/links.cfm?categoryid=1&subcategoryid=72&CFID=21972408&CFTOKEN=90627058 A list of geo software can be found at: http://www.geologylinks.com/Software.html A list of open source GIS software: http://opensourcegis.org/ Enjoy!

Specific software for geology related mapping would be, for example, Rockworks: http://www.rockware.com/product/overview.php?id=164 Quite expensive, but relatively inexpensive for a company.

I’d have to consent with you one this subject. Which is not something I typically do! I really like reading a post that will make people think. Also, thanks for allowing me to comment! Post a comment
