Knowledge the territory - Cartoon Geosciences IR

Knowledge the territory is essential to develop good land management practices, reduce risks, consciously manage natural resources, guarantee the safety of citizens. This knowledge is developed thanks to the most advanced technologies that allow the acquisition of highly detailed data on the earth's surface and underground and the construction of three-dimensional (3D) geological models.

What are they, how are they built, why are 3D geological models of the subsurface so important and where can we find them?
The videos answer these questions, illustrating in a simple way how underground geological and geophysical data are collected, analyzed and processed, how the software that allows geologists to build 3D geological models work, why they are so important for technicians, decision-makers and citizens, and how the GeoSciences IR infrastructure and its Geo-IT3D node allow the retrieval of geological and geothematic data in open format.
