Remote Structural Mapping: A case study from the Golddigger property, BC

Remote Structural Mapping: A case study from the Golddigger property, BC

One of the greatest challenges for exploration teams in remote and rugged environments is capturing detailed structural geology observations that can be integrated into downstream analysis. Often, we find ourselves on a ridge, observing the opposite mountain slope through binoculars, marveling at the exposed folds and faulting, but lacking the tools to record these observations…

Creating Digital Models of Rock Exposure for Geological and Geotechnical Mapping   

The launch of the new HiveMap digital geotechnical mapping software has allowed geoscience professionals to create visual representations of rock exposure from both above and below-surface environments. The datasets may be acquired through a variety of terrestrial and drone-based remote sensing methods, including photogrammetry and LiDAR solutions. Technology as simple as the iPhone in your…

Creating Mappable Surfaces 

HiveMap relies on detailed, georeferenced 3D surfaces of rock exposure – preferably with an overlaid photograph – to facilitate digital mapping. Of course, what ‘detailed’ means is very much scale-dependent, and the best practices on data capture vary depending on the setting and application. For example, the scale at which an exploration geologist would undertake…

Why Map? 

At the core of this blog post is the simple question: Why do we map?  In earth sciences, all the questions we are trying to answer are based on a need to understand the earth’s surface and subsurface. We have a multitude of tools available from remote sensing and geophysics through to drilling that allows…
