Abstract
One of the main challenges faced by countries, especially small island states, during an oil spill combat is the identification of vulnerable coastal locations. The lack of precise information of this nature has often led to the inappropriate use of combat materials and response strategies.

Abstract
Concerning the importance of carbonates in mineralization and the necessity of separation of important formations in remote sensing data, we try to separate carbonates into two groups including limestone and dolomite by using PCA on ASTER SWIR bands. As you know this analysis results can be used in compiling geological maps and GIS modeling for finding the favorable potential area.

Geological features or factors vary in space and time. This fundamental characteristic is responsible for making it a most genuine application field of Geographical Information Systems, where the strength lies in defining the two dimension (X,Y extent), third dimension (Z component) and the fourth dimension (time) of spatial information.

Abstract
The objective of this project is to put in place an interactive web based system that will provide geological surveys and individuals with guidance on the technology options available that will enable them to implement cost-effective, appropriate and sustainable geoscience data acquisition. The country and climate specific information will be accessed through a web interface based around ArcIMS webGIS software.

Abstract
The Singhbhum Copper Belt (CBM), a curvilinear zone of approximately 160 km length between Kharswan-Duarpuram in the west and Baharagora-Kesharpur in the east, in Bihar state of India, is a well known repository of copper, uranium and apatite-magnetite mineralisation, related to extensive shear effect caused by structural phenomena involving rocks of the lower Proterozoic age (C. 2400-2300 Ma).

Abstract
Exploration investigation with using GIS technology is a branch of this vast science. GIS prepare a data bank for a good access to Mineral deposit data and processing them for indicating the new exploration areas.
In additional, with usage of this system you can create sample location nets, drilling hole points and coring points and different geological sections in various scales:
With this method in primary, detail and semi detail exploration, you can access to the geological and mine data and processing data for reaching to the mine potential map for an element (or a group of elements) which can reduce budget and time and limit the area for exploration.

Abstract
Mineral resource potential mapping is a complex analytical process, which requires consideration and integration of a number of spatial evidences like geological, geomorphological, wall rock alteration, etc., using the capability of analytical tools of Geographic Information System (GIS).

This tutorial uses techniques for estimating the volume and thickness of an ore that are employed by GIS specialists working in the mining industry. It teaches the basics of constructing a volumetric model, deriving volumes with cut/fill, converting raster data to a shapefile, calculating bauxite tonnage, and average thickness from all available resources using ArcGIS.

Introduction
Before we get onto the core issue , let us try to recap as to when and where GPS started. The first one called NAVSTAR GPS (Navigation Satellite Timing and Ranging Global Positioning System) was (and still is) a satellite-based radio navigation and surveying system providing precise three dimensional position, navigation and time information to suitably equipped users everywhere on a continuous basis.

Introduction
The need for natural resources management has widely been recognized as the ever-increasing population leads to pressure on the available resources that exceed the bearing capacity of resources, and leads to their depletion and degradation. Resources degradation through erosion of valuable layer of the earth surface, changes in flow regimes of rivers and other phenomena are frequently worst events faced by the present day world. To date, however, the management of natural resources seems to have had only a limited impact in abating these adverse processes. The lack of adequate information, databases and proper documentation are few of the reasons for its limited impact. It is in relation to this that discussions on information systems to support resource management were initiated.
