Abstract

Abstract Being able to create digital geological maps has become a basic requirement for the skillset of today’s geologists. QGIS is a geographical information system that receives increasing popularity due to its user-friendliness and the fact that it is an open access software. This contribution provides an update and extension to a previously published software guideline that gives a stepwise explanation on how to create a geological map with QGIS. The article serves as a brief overview of the guideline through an illustrated example. The guideline itself is published as a supplement to this paper. Within six sections, the guideline explains how to create a geological map with QGIS: 1. Introduction, 2. Download and installation, 3. Basemaps, 4. Map drawing, 5. Plugins, 6. Layouts. The aim is to instruct geologists who are completely inexperienced with digital map creation as well as provide specific information for more advanced users. In general, providing software guidelines for the geological community is an important step towards increasing geologists’ digital proficiency and to keep up with today’s fast paced developments in digitalization.

QGIS地质制图新指南

能够创建数字地质图已经成为当今地质学家技能组合的基本要求。QGIS是一种地理信息系统，由于它的用户友好性和它是一个开放获取的软件而越来越受欢迎。该贡献提供了对先前发布的软件指南的更新和扩展，该指南给出了如何使用QGIS创建地质图的逐步解释。本文通过一个示例简要概述了该指南。该指南本身是作为本文的补充发布的。在六个部分中，指南解释了如何使用QGIS创建地质图:1。介绍,2。3.下载安装;视频4。5.绘制地图;插件,6。布局。其目的是指导那些完全没有数字地图制作经验的地质学家，并为更高级的用户提供具体的信息。总的来说，为地质界提供软件指南是提高地质学家数字化水平和跟上当今数字化快速发展的重要一步。

期刊介绍： AUSTRIAN JOURNAL OF EARTH SCIENCES is the official journal of the Austrian Geological, Mineralogical and Palaeontological Societies, hosted by a country that is famous for its spectacular mountains that are the birthplace for many geological and mineralogical concepts in modern Earth science. AUSTRIAN JOURNAL OF EARTH SCIENCE focuses on all aspects relevant to the geosciences of the Alps, Bohemian Massif and surrounding areas. Contributions on other regions are welcome if they embed their findings into a conceptual framework that relates the contribution to Alpine-type orogens and Alpine regions in general, and are thus relevant to an international audience. Contributions are subject to peer review and editorial control according to SCI guidelines to ensure that the required standard of scientific excellence is maintained.
