BGS Groundhog Desktop

BGS Groundhog Desktop is a software tool developed and made available by the British Geological Survey and used for geological data visualisation, interpretation and 3D geologic modelling. It is available in both free-to-use and commercial editions. Groundhog Desktop is a key part of the BGS's work to develop 3D models of the UK subsurface.

Features
• Digitise and interpret geologic cross section • Correlate borehole logs • Display and edit borehole data • Import AGS borehole data • Display and edit geological map linework • Import georeferenced imagery • Import digital elevation model • Develop conceptual site models (CSM) • Develop 3D geological models == 3D Geological Modelling ==
3D Geological Modelling
BGS Groundhog Desktop uses an implicit modelling algorithm based on a diverse set of inputs. An interpolation algorithm processes the inputs and generates each geological layer according to geological rules in order to create a vertically consistent stack. The resulting model is visualised as a block model. == Example projects ==
Example projects
• A geological model of London and the Thames Valley, southeast England • Modelling rapid coastal catch-up after defence removal along the soft cliff coast of Happisburgh, UK • Enkoping Esker Pilot Study : workflow for data integration and publishing of 3D geological outputs • UK Minecraft Geology Model built using Groundhog • 3D Geological Model of the completed Farringdon underground railway == References ==
