Abstract
At the Geological Survey of Finland (GTK), geological 3D modelling has traditionally been related with ore modeling. Presently, regional 3D bedrock and Quaternary deposit models are built in different parts of Finland. It will be important to be able to build and present combined 3D models of the Precambrian crystalline rock overlaid by the Quaternary deposits in many engineering and environmental geological investigations. In future, GTK also needs a 3D database for storing 3D objects from geological, geophysical and geochemical modeling. It should be possible to extract geometrical objects in simple ASCII data with the meta-data, links to reports describing the 3D modeling process and properties of the used data and applications. In general, there are needs for interchanging 3D information between GTK and mining companies, state organizations and consulting firms.
