Introduction
"In addition to the collection of information for mapping, field mapping may be used to "ground truth" data collected by other methods, such as remote sensing or existing geologic maps. Water, soil and rock samples are also often collected for further chemical analysis." cannot be used as a page name in this wiki.
 In addition to the collection of information for mapping, field mapping may be used to "ground truth" data collected by other methods, such as remote sensing or existing geologic maps. Water, soil and rock samples are also often collected for further chemical analysis.




 
Best Practices

  • It is important to spend more time in the field developing detailed geologic maps. Oil and gas companies typically spend more time than geothermal companies mapping prospective locations, and it has helped to explain why individual projects have succeeded and failed. Even for currently operating geothermal systems, often there is not a solid understanding of the underlying geology.
  • Reiterating a previous point, a well-trained geologist is important to developing geologic maps. Although modern computer processing and mapping software have promoted the ubiquitous generation of maps, the can also result in the erroneous use of automated contouring of non-uniform data point distributions (Klein, 2007).
