Effective geological information evaluation is essential for accurate site characterization. A major concern in geological mapping is to locate the accurate location of the geological information. The geoinformation approach such as precise GPS surveying and UAV mapping could be integrated with other geospatial information to augment the geological information. This research aims to integrate the geoinformation approach into geological structure mapping. To achieve the overall purpose of the study, the objective identified was the establishment of a high-precision control point by using Precise GPS measurement in the study area. Therefore, the establishment of GPS data observations involves the establishment of primary networks and several GPS controls points within the study area. Subsequently, the GPS positioning has been processed to produce a topographic information map and to support the collection of geological data in the study area. It is hoped that the integration of the geoinformation approach has been provided a significant increase in geological information at the district of Mersing.

The analysis of geological and geophysical materials in order to study the peculiarities of the geological structure of the Vikulov Formation within the Vodorazdel license area was carried out. The presented factual material makes it possible to characterize the geological structure of the investigated area more informatively and for interpreting of seismic materials. The analysis of geological information (GIS and test results) confirms the approved water–oil contact (WOC) level in the investigated section of the deposit, which makes it possible to recalculate its reserves.

Walcot Gibson was born at Bromsgrove, Worcestershire, on 24 August 1864. His father was a bank manager from the north country and his mother was Cornish, and they had three sons and one daughter. Gibson was educated at the Bromsgrove School and about 1882 went to Mason College, Birmingham, now the University of Birmingham. Charles Lapworth who had distinguished himself by his great researches in the south of Scotland had just been appointed to the chair of Geology at Mason College and thirty-one years later (1913) he records that Gibson was his first geological pupil. His interest in geology and geological mapping was developed by intimate contact with Lapworth and was sustained by a coterie of ardent amateur geologists, among them Joseph Landon, Fred Cullis and C. J. Gilbert. This period clearly determined Gibson’s choice of a career. After a course at the Royal College of Science he set out in 1889 on Lapworth’s advice for South Africa where he was engaged for two years on mineral surveys in the Rand goldfields and elsewhere. From there he moved to East Africa where he was engaged for another two years on mineral surveys for the East Africa Company. He returned to this country an experienced geologist and surveyor and in 1893 he joined H.M. Geological Survey in which service he remained for thirty-two years until his retirement in 1925. This was an important period in the history of the Geological Survey for owing to strong representations that the old Survey had become obsolete both in topography and geology, the House of Commons in 1891 sanctioned a resurvey of the great South Wales Coalfield on the scale of six inches to the mile. The first mapping of that field initiated by Logan and de la Beche was on the one-inch scale and was completed about 1845, the year in which the Geological Survey was transferred from the Board of Ordnance. The enormous developments which had taken place since the original survey had far outstripped the knowledge of the geological structure of the field and new information had become urgently necessary.

AbstractA five years geological mapping project, in which the Netherlands Continental Shelf has been re-examined using all publicly available data, resulted in an important update of the existing dataset. The stratigraphy of over 400 wells has been re-interpreted. New depth and thickness grids, based mainly on the interpretation of 3D seismic data have been produced for the most important stratigraphic intervals from Permian Upper Rotliegend to Neogene. New reservoir grids describe the top, base and thickness of 30 (potential) reservoir units in the area. In addition, the uncertainty related to interpretation and further processing of the data has been assessed. This resulted in maps displaying the standard deviation for the depth of the main stratigraphic intervals. Based on these results and the data already available for the onshore area, an updated structural element map was made for the Netherlands.

Most cities in Denmark are situated on low permeable clay rich deposits. These sediments are of glacial origin and range among the most heterogeneous, with hydraulic conductivities spanning several orders of magnitude. This heterogeneity has obvious consequences for the sizing of sustainable urban drainage systems (SuDS). We have tested methods to reveal geological heterogeneity at field scale to identify the most suitable sites for the placement of infiltration elements and to minimize their required size. We assessed the geological heterogeneity of a clay till plain in Eastern Jutland, Denmark measuring the shallow subsurface resistivity with a geoelectrical multi-electrode system. To confirm the resistivity data we conducted a spear auger mapping. The exposed sediments ranged from clay tills over sandy clay tills to sandy tills and correspond well to the geoelectrical data. To verify the value of geological information for placement of infiltration elements we carried out a number of infiltration tests on geologically different areas across the field, and we observed infiltration rates two times higher in the sandy till area than in the clay till area, thus demonstrating that the hydraulic performance of SuDS can be increased considerably and oversizing avoided if field geological heterogeneity is revealed before placing SuDS.

The object of the Geological Survey is to ascertain in detail the geological structure of the United Kingdom, and to publish the results in maps, sections, and descriptive memoirs. The Ordnance maps form the groundwork on which these geological investigations proceed; and as no district is examined until these maps are ready, the progress of the Geological Survey is guided in no small degree by that of the Ordnance engineers. In Scotland, the geological mapping has hitherto been conducted wholly upon the county maps on the scale of six inches to a mile, and the advantages of so large a scale are such, that although the work is finally reduced and published on the scale of one inch to a mile, no county is surveyed until its six-inch maps are ready for use.

Pucang Village was consisted of eruption materials of Merapi Volcano. The relatively high coefficient of permeability of the materials consisting this area caused rainwater to directly infiltrate into the ground. Evaluation of engineering geological conditions was conducted for construction of a detention pond in this area, which had limited water supply for daily activities. The evaluation was conducted on results of a 1:10.000 scale of engineering geological mapping and analyses of 1:10.000 scale of geological disaster maps produced by previous researchers. The engineering geological mapping involved mapping of morphological condition and active geomorphic process, lithological condition, existence of geological structure, and water source location. The evaluation results showed that the proposed location met the land suitability criteria for detention pond construction based on the morphological condition and active geomorphic process, existence of geological structure, and water source location, but did not meet those based on the lithological and vulnerability to Merapi Volcano eruption disaster. Construction of impermeable layer to prevent water seepage into the ground and periodic removal of sediment in the base of the detention pond were suggested to be carried out to keep the detention pond functioning properly.

The Vedel Islands are a small island group that is part of the Wilhelm archipelago in the West Antarctica. They are located near the Graham Coast of the Antarctic Peninsula at a distance of 12 km from Akademik Vernadsky Ukrainian Antarctic Station. Until recently, the Vedel Islands were a "white spot" on all existing geological maps. In 2019, during the seasonal work of the 24th Ukrainian Antarctic expedition, the authors first carried out field geological researches on the Vedel Islands. The main goal of the geological survey was reconnaissance and large-scale geological mapping. The general ideas about the geological structure of the study area were developed by further processing of the collected materials. The preliminary data about the mode of occurrence, the geological ages, the petrographic peculiarities and the ore potential of the local rocks were also obtained. It was first established that multiple-aged intrusive-magmatic formations take part in the geological structure of the Vedel Islands. The intermediate compositions of the plutonic rocks namely the diorites and quartz diorites are the most common among them. The gabbroids and the tonalites are less common. The least common ones are hypabyssal and subvolcanic dike rocks namely microdiorites and diabases. The plutonic rocks were formed in at least three intrusive phases with a homodromous order of their intrusions. The most ancient among them are gabbroids. The Early Cretaceous age for their formation is assumed by analogy with the petrographically similar rocks of the Tuxen-Rasmussen layered gabbroid intrusion (TRGI). The tonilites are the youngest plutonic rocks on the Vedel Islands. It is assumed that their formation at a deep level took place in the Late Cretaceous, although their tectonic exhumation and the final erosion outcropping occurred in the Paleogene and ended in the Neogene. In the process of the exhumation, the plutonic rocks were intruded by hypabyssal dikes of microdiorites. The youngest subvolcanic diabase dykes intruded the tonalites supposedly after their complete erosion outcropping i. e. in Neogene or even Quaternary. Like TRGI and other layered gabbroid intrusions of the Wilhelm archipelago, the Vedel island gabbroids contain iron-titanium oxide-ore and copper-silicate mineralization, which requires further study. The additional researches are also needed to clarify the age, origin, petrography and mineralogy of the numerous veins of aplite-pegmatoid granite which intrude gabbroids and diorites on the Vedel Islands.
