Analytical geoinformation system for integrated geological-geophysical research in the territory of Russia |
Abstract |
To obtain new fundamental data and scientific generalizations, it is particularly important today to adhere to integrated system analysis of geological and geophysical information obtained using various methods and systems for data recognition in the available databases. The fundamental research aimed at prediction and appraisal of strategic raw materials requires contemporary information support to perform integrated analysis of different arrays of geological/geophysical data. Modern geographical information systems GIS offer an effective and reliable tool for complex multifactor analysis of spatial data. Moreover, they enable automation of processes connected with collection, processing and imaging of spatial data, which improves quality of the data interpretation by a specialist–expert. The basic goal of the research is the elaboration of modern facilities for scientific analysis of geological/geophysical data based on GIS technologies. This article reports development of a geo-spatial database on geology and geophysics accessed through a topical portal (http://gis.gcras.ru/). This geoportal is a basis of multi-disciplinary GIS “Geoscientific Data on the Territory of Russia.” This article describes in detail topical digital layers and charts included in the geo-spatial database of this GIS. The features and capabilities of the geoportal are described in the article. To develop such a GIS, the client/server approach was chosen, based on user’s operation with geospatial data and geo-processing tools using thin client aids. A user needs no special programs to be downloaded, except for web-browser. Interaction with geospatial data and geoprocessing services involves standard protocols of cartographic information sharing, including KML, HTML, XML, OGC-protocols (WMS, WFS) and others. Furthermore, the article presents a new algorithm of image identification to be introduced as an intellectual component of GIS for analysis of geological/geophysical data.
