About

Geologic mapping is the systematic process of documenting the distribution, characteristics, and relationships of rock and surficial units at or near the Earth's surface. This fundamental geological method integrates field observations, remote sensing data, and geophysical information to represent subsurface geology, structural features, and geological history on a map, serving as a critical tool for understanding Earth's evolution, identifying resources, and assessing geological hazards.
