The Subsurface Viewer is a package developed by INSIGHT Geologische
Softwaresysteme GmbH for the visualisation and analysis of
digital geoscientific spatial models.
The viewer has been developed following the popularity of
INSIGHT’s Geological Surveying and Investigation in 3D (GSI3D)
software tool that is in use extensively inside the British Geological
Survey (BGS) for the construction of systematic near surface models
(Kessler and Mathers 2004; Kessler et al. 2005; Kessler et al. 2009).
These notes describe and display the use of the interface windows to
the software.
A Geological Model is embedded within the Viewer as a means of
publication and distribution to the wider world. In this way the constructed
model can be examined and analysed to produce:
models displaying the geology or other pre-selected
applied themes (e.g. hydrogeological properties)
geological maps (at surface and uncovered)
user defined synthetic borehole logs
user defined horizontal slices and vertical sections
visualisation of the geometry of single and combined
units
The model supplied with the Subsurface Viewer is encrypted and
cannot be altered, nor can users add additional data as the viewer is a
standalone package. The model and the necessary Java software and
extensions are all included in the package. The model described
herein (West Thurrock) is freely downloadable from the BGS website
