3D geological modeling and visualization of the subsurface data of the Piemonte plains derived from the Geodatabase of digital Geological map of Piemonte

Abstract

Three-dimensional (3D) subsurface modelling and visualization of seven regional unconformity-bounded stratigraphic units, (synthems) of the Messinian-Quaternary succession of the Po Plain Basin and Savigliano-Alessandria Basin are here described. 3D model is developed using the EnterVol Ctech® software environment, grounding on information stored in GeoPiemonte Map database. This modelling allows to visualise the geological data and to establish topological relationships between the analysed objects, coupling the data processing capabilities of GIS with 3D modeling and sharing the result on 3D WebGIS service of ARPA Piemonte Geoportal.
