Introduction 3D-modelling in Finland has been traditionally related to ore modelling and evaluation New applications have been introduced in recent years Eg. Regional, local and site scale 3D-models, Nuclear waste site models at Olkiluoto Computerized 3D ore modelling has been done since 1980. 28.7.2016 7
Main geological units in Finland (Very) brief stratigraphy of Finland Quaternary Precambrian crystalline bedrock mainly older than 1.8 Ga Harri Kutvonen/ GTK Gap for 1.5 to 1.8 Ga 28.7.2016 8
Applications Main research themes that use 3D-modelling in GTK are: Ore exploration Environmental investigations Environmental studies in mining sites Groundwater Flow modelling and (reactive) transport modelling Urban geology 28.7.2016 9
