The GEOSUM working group of the University of Cologne was formed to develop integrated scientific 3D modelling concepts and applied best practice guidelines. Members come from different geo scientific disciplines: Quaternary Geology, Applied Geophysics, Applied Geomorphology and Earthquake Geology, working on different aspects of the surface and shallow subsurface, from archaeology and historical geography, stratigraphy, sedimentary geology, hydro and engineering geology to geophysics.

Intergation of borlog-data & geological maps & DTM-data.

GEOSUM uses the GSI3D (Geological Surveying and Investigation in 3D) methodology and software tool to integrate and visualise all available 1D, 2D and 3D geo-scientific records. These data sets are used to construct 3D models of the subsurface for further analysing by functionalities included in the GSI3D methodology. Interpreted outputs of the generated spatial information can then be distributed in a wide range of CAD, GIS and 3D formats.
