  1. GIS for processing and analyzing geological data and managing underground resources Valeri Trendafilov Ministry of Environment and Water National Geofund and Geology 22, Princess Marie Louse Blvd., 1000 Sofia, Bulgaria E-mail : trendv@moew.govrn.bg www.moew.govrn.bg

  2. Paper Topics • Bulgarian National Geofund • Geological Maps in GIS • Exploration of Underground Resources • Examples

  3. National Geofund • A huge amount of data has been collected in a field of Geological Sciences in Bulgaria in the last 50-60 years. • More than 7000 reports are available in National Geofund covering all aspects of geological activities in Bulgaria including geological mapping, geophysical and geochemical surveys, hydrogeology, exploration of mineral deposits etc. The oldest geological report dated from 1925. • The National Geofund is responsible for collecting and storing all geological data in Bulgaria. Part of the data is published. The National Geofund is in charge of disclosure of unpublished information to another organizations under established rules.

  4. National Geofund • Two ways to find the reports of interest • In “GeoArchive” Data Base for the reports -using keywords querying. Some keywords - Author name,Title, Year , Location, Map Sheet, Methods, Mineral Resource etc. • Using graphical interface (GIS) for the areas in which geological works have been done(an example follows).

  5. National Geofund

  6. National Geofund Implementation of Information Technologies - 1992 Implementation of GIS - 1995 Programs financed from the State budget 32 data sets available or in progress of creating Metadata for the sets according GEIXS standards GEIXS(Geological Electronic Information eXchange System) Espirit No 23802 Metadata published on http://geixs.eurogeosurveys.org/

  7. National Geofund • Other International projects related to GIS: • National System for Training of Public Administration in • Ecological Management of Natural Resources. • Contract N IB _JEP-13203-98, TEMPUS PHARE • New Proposals for the • 5th Framework Programme • Energy, Environment and Sustainable Development: • Marine Sediment Information Network for the European • Regional Seas - MARINERS • Black Sea Scene

  8. Digital Maps - Register and Cadastre of Prospecting and/or Exploration Permits - Maps of Mineral Deposits - Exploration Works - Geochemical and Geophisical Anomalies Maps - Geological Maps - Topographic Maps

  9. Geological Maps Geological Map of Bulgaria, Scale - 1:500000,1:100000,1:25000 in GIS format - different layers of information : • Geological boundaries • Stratigraphy • Lithology • Tectonics • Rivers • Infrastructure - towns, roads, railway

  10. Geological Maps 1. Geological Map of Bulgaria, Scale 1:500000. Published map in 1989, 2 flat coloured sheets covered all territory of Bulgaria, Bulgarian-English edition. The map is compiled on the base of the Geological map of Bulgaria scale 1:100000 and available data of the National Geofund. Digital model available (MapInfo).

  11. Digital Map

  12. Digital Map • Fragment of 1:500000 map in real scale

  13. 2. Geological Map of Bulgaria, Scale 1:100000. Published Map Series, 86 coloured flat sheets, covered all the country, available in Bulgarian or in English edition. All available in digital form (MapInfo). Digital Maps

  14. Digital Map, example.

  15. Geological Maps 3. Geological Map of Bulgaria, Scale 1:25000. Unpublished map series, standard indexed map sheets, covered mineral potential areas. Reports are available in National Geofund. Some of map sheets are available in digital form(MapInfo). The results from new field geological mapping program are produced directly in digital form and printed. Only Bulgarian edition available.
