BGS Groundhog Desktop is a software tool developed and made available by the British Geological Survey and used for geological data visualisation, interpretation and 3D geologic modelling. It is available in both free-to-use and commercial editions. Groundhog Desktop is a key part of the BGS's work to develop 3D models of the UK subsurface.[1]
It is widely used by other Geological Survey Organisations including at the Geological Survey of Sweden, Geological Survey of Finland and with environmental consultancies.
Features
- Digitise and interpret geologic cross section
- Correlate borehole logs
- Display and edit borehole data
- Import AGS borehole data
- Display and edit geological map linework
- Import georeferenced imagery
- Import digital elevation model
- Develop conceptual site models (CSM)
- Develop 3D geological models
3D Geological Modelling
BGS Groundhog Desktop uses an implicit modelling algorithm based on a diverse set of inputs. An interpolation algorithm processes the inputs and generates each geological layer according to geological rules in order to create a vertically consistent stack. The resulting model is visualised as a block model.
Example projects
- A geological model of London and the Thames Valley, southeast England
- Modelling rapid coastal catch-up after defence removal along the soft cliff coast of Happisburgh, UK
- Enkoping Esker Pilot Study : workflow for data integration and publishing of 3D geological outputs[2]
- UK Minecraft Geology Model built using Groundhog[3]
- 3D Geological Model of the completed Farringdon underground railway[4]
