Geographical Information Systems (GIS) have revolutionized the field of geological mapping and data analysis, providing a dynamic platform for understanding the Earth’s complex features. This article embarks on a comprehensive journey through the evolution of GIS, tracing its historical roots in cartography to its present-day digital marvels.
Delving into the heart of GIS applications in geological mapping, the article offers a detailed overview of the systems in use globally. It highlights the diverse methodologies employed in creating geological maps.
The insights gained from this research lay the foundation for future advancements in the field. Notably, as a direct outcome of this study, a national geoinformation system of geological data is being developed, marking a significant stride toward efficient and comprehensive geospatial data management.
