| Abstract | To assist in completing surface and subsurface mapping in the Oak Ridges Moraine area a geoscience database is being developed. The database consists of three data storage elements: a) relational database, b) GIS layers, and c) flat files. The relational database is the repository for new and archival point data obtained by mapping and borehole studies. The GIS layers include a library of remotely sensed imagery, a regional Digital Elevation Model, and thematic layers. The flat file format has been used for subsurface geophysical data, particularly reflection seismic and ground penetrating radar profiles. Most of the database is on desktop PC platforms with UNIX systems being incorporated for specific tasks. A simple example is provided to illustrate the potential for database querying and spatial interpolation in a GIS. |
