Features: This book primarily introduces the 3S technology, which integrates Geographic Information Systems (GIS), Global Positioning Systems (GPS), and Remote Sensing (RS), to achieve the full process of digitalization from field geological attribute data collection and processing to computer-aided geological map compilation. Building on the traditional geological "Old Three" tools, it adds the modern geological "New Three" (laptop or handheld computer, GPS, digital camera). On the GIS platform, it integrates vectorized basic geographic data, GPS point geological attribute data, and remote sensing image raster data to produce a new generation of digital geology that combines geological graphics with geological attributes. This book can serve as a teaching guide for digital geological mapping internships in geology and mineral-related disciplines, as a reference for regional geological mapping and geological exploration research and production departments, and as a reference for field surveys and research in fields such as hydrology, environment, tourism, agriculture, forestry, and transportation...
