CONSTRUCTION OF A GEOLOGICAL WIREFRAME MODEL OF THE RIGHT BANK OF THE KURBELYAKH RIVER (TOMPONSKY TRAINING GROUND OF NEFU) IN GIS MICROMINE
Since 1972, the geological practice of 2nd year students of the Geological Prospecting Faculty have been conducted at the Tomponsky training ground of the North-Eastern Federal University. Moving to the place of practical training, students can get an idea of the classical frontal structures of the Verkhoyansk fold belt. The main goal of the educational practice is the use of eld observation methods, the compilation of geological maps and the processing of material. Over the 50 years of the land ll’s existence, the drawing up of geological graphics and documentation has undergone signi cant changes. With the advent of specialized information tools, there is a need to improve the educational process of geological survey practice and processing of materials with the help of initially three- dimensional mining and geological information systems. The purpose of our work was to create a three-dimensional wireframe geological model of the Tomponsky training ground as a basis for use by students and teachers for educational and scienti c purposes. To create the model, a classic mapping scheme was used, but using 3D modeling software. The work included the following stages: collection and processing of graphic information; creating a relief surface; digitization of geological boundaries and sections; creation of digital models of surfaces of stratigraphic units; creation of frames of stratigraphic units and tectonic faults. The construction of a virtual geological model of the right bank of the Kurbelyakh River will serve as the basis for testing technological processes that will allow soon to complete the modeling of the entire territory of the Tomponsky training ground of NEFU. The model will be used as a career guidance tool that attracts enrollee interested in obtaining digital competencies in the eld of modeling mineral deposits that are in demand in the mining and geological industry.
