| Abstract | The aim of the present study is to develop a knowledge-driven expert system for mapping the potential heavy mineral placer deposits along the coast using integrated Geographical Information System (GIS) and fuzzy logic techniques. The study has been carried out in Kalaigananpuram coastal stretch, southeast coast of India, where high-quality heavy mineral placers are deposited naturally. A total of six transects was laid perpendicular to the coastline, in which 36 samples per transect of 2 m interval per month was taken for analysis. Standard techniques were adopted for evaluating the beach profile, grain size, and heavy mineral weight percent. Moreover, the statistical results of these parameters were considered for mapping the heavy mineral placer potential zone in the study area. A fuzzy-based expert system model was developed through ArcGIS model builder to map the mineral potential zone. In this study, three evidential layers were fuzzified using the linear membership function. These evidential layers were further ranked based on expert knowledge from placer minerals exploration researchers. The analyzed results reveal that heavy mineral placer deposits are observed in the berm and high-tide region of the study area. The annual average weight percent of heavy mineral placer deposits in the study area range from 40 % to 60 %. The extracted heavy mineral placer potential maps can be used for sustainable mining and surveying purposes. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
