3D models from geological maps

Welcome. In this repository you will find a group of geologic maps that we have converted into 3D geological models using the geo-modelling tool GemPy (https://www.gempy.org).

NOTE: Please update to the latest version. On Feb. 28/2024, I made substantial changes to the notebooks and use as input just text files. This makes things more clear. Also, the installation of the required libraries is now much simpler.

Clone the repository

The best way to work with the resource is to clone this repository. This saves all material to your local machine. It behaves almost like a copy.

Open a terminal.
Navigate to the folder where you would like to store the local copy of the repository. (cd <foldername>)
Press the green button 'Code' on the right hand side and copy the path in the Clone section.
Execute the terminal command git clone <fill in path here>.
Now you can start working with the resource files. They are saved in the folder you chose in step 2.

Install required libraries

In order to create the models from the geological maps, you will need to install the following libraries/programs in a new anaconda environment. This can be done in a terminal following the steps below:

Create and activate a new environment

conda create -n geomaps python==3.10

conda activate geomaps

Install gempy

Windows

conda install aesara

pip install gempy

macOS

pip install gempy

Install gemgis

pip install gemgis

Install gdal

conda install gdal

Install Jupyter Notebook

conda install jupyter

Check the installation

Launch Jupyter Notebook

jupyter notebook

Create a new notebook and in a code cell write these lines:

import rasterio

import geopandas as gpd

import gempy as gp

import gemgis as gg

Run the cell

There shouldn't be any errors.
