Sommario/riassunto

The book documents and explains, in three parts, geochemical anomaly and mineral prospectivity mapping by using a geographic information system (GIS). Part I reviews principles of mapping geochemical anomalies and mineral prospectivity and the role of GIS. Part II explains GIS-based techniques for mapping geochemical anomalies. Part III explains GIS-based techniques for predictive mapping of potentially-mineralized areas. Because methods of geochemical anomaly mapping and mineral potential mapping are highly specialized yet diverse, the book explains only methods in which GIS plays an importan
