[Qgis-user] General interest in geological support for QGIS?

[Blumentrath, Stefan]

Hi,

Maybe you can find some inspiration in these GRASS based solutions:

Either Processing or the GRASS plugin might provide you with the required tools…

Cheers
Stefan

What is the level of interest in other geological tools?  I would very much like to see the momentum in QGIS carry on into building tools in QGIS and/or PostGIS to support drilling, geochemistry and geophysics field surveys.

For example, I have run simple drill sections as “projections” with the data calculated in a spreadsheet.  Recently I have been (enjoying!) processing magnetic surveys in R and building profiles for plotting in plan view along the survey lines.  The tools are there to build a good exploration suite like those provided commercially for MapInfo and ESRI.

Any other interest in this?  Should we be more formalizing a project?

Coming from the field of archaeology, those sound like tools we'd find useful too. My current client is paying me to work on QGIS tools for site survey and recording, and having ways to integrate the geophysics, geoarchaeology, borehole data, etc without writing it all myself would be useful.
Possibly related are Midvatten [1] and other hydrological plugins [2] which I've just started looking at for a borehole survey project we may be working on soon.
Of course, having full 3D support within QGIS would make this sort of thing a lot easier rather than re-projecting everything in 2D plan view or exporting it, but we're getting there :-)
John.
