Please consider contributing and/or attending our GSA session in Phoenix: *â??T177. Innovative Tools for Mapping, Modelling, and Sharing 3D Geological Data: Drones, Photogrammetry, Lidar, Virtual, and Augmented Realityâ??. <https://gsa.confex.com/gsa/2019AM/top/index.epl>* Our invited speaker is *Prof. John Stix* from the Department of Earth & Planetary Sciences â?? Mc Gill University (Canada). Please note the * abstract submission deadline is Tuesday, June 25th, 2019.* Looking forward to reading your abstract and seeing you Phoenix! All the best, The T177 conveners, Antoine Triantafyllou, Benjamin Jordan, Christopher Crosby and Ramon Arrowsmith ----> FYI: here is a full description of the session and covered topics: High-resolution Digital Outcrop Models (DOM) are increasingly attractive tools for modern field geologists. 3D models are applicable across the earth sciences, including for investigation of inaccessible geological structures, and for quantifying geomorphological processes and the assessment of natural resources and geohazard. DOMs can be created through structure from motion photogrammetry, terrestrial laser scanning (LiDAR), and photoclinometry. These acquisition methods can be coupled to a large variety of spectral sensors (multi-, hyper-spectral, radar) and be embedded on various platforms, including airborne- (drones/UAV) or ground-based approaches. These innovative tools provide invaluable and increasingly accessible sources of geological data at a wide and flexible range of spatial scales from the scale of the outcrop to the scale of the geological map. Active areas of research include automatic or semiautomatic and machine learning-based tools and algorithms for data quality assessment, fusion, classification, analysis workflows and object or geological features recognition. These novel approaches represent significant inputs to quantitative geological models and may bring new clues and better constraints to geologic interpretations. Augmented and Virtual Reality (VR) technologies, and Cave Automatic Virtual Environment (CAVE) environments are potentially very powerful as supporting tools to enable data analyze, scientific presentations, and immersive virtual field experiences in which realistic geology outcrop and/or post-processed 3D models can be explored and investigated. We invite contributions that address methodological approaches and challenges related to diverse geological problems and case studies, including field acquisition, data processing, data access and distribution, and interpretation. ============================================================== Volcano Listserv is a collaborative venture among Arizona State University (ASU), Portland State University (PSU), the Global Volcanism Program (GVP) of the Smithsonian Institution's National Museum of Natural History, and the International Association for Volcanology and Chemistry of the Earth's Interior (IAVCEI).
