Geological Modeling and Analysis

Geological Modeling and Analysis is a research topic within Geochemistry and Petrology. Science Explorer counts 26k research works in it since 1950. 5.9% of them reached the world's top 10% most cited for their field and year.

This cluster of papers focuses on geological modeling, uncertainty analysis, and visualization techniques in the field of geoscience. It explores methods for integrating multi-source data, addressing conceptual uncertainty, and incorporating stochastic modeling in 3D geological models. The papers also discuss the application of geological modeling in hydrogeological assessments and urban development, emphasizing the importance of accurate spatial representation and visualization of geological structures.
