Approach of automatic 3D geological mapping: the case of the Kovdor phoscorite-carbonatite complex, NW Russia

Abstract We have developed an approach for automatic 3D geological mapping based on conversion of chemical composition of rocks to mineral composition by logical computation. It allows to calculate mineral composition based on bulk rock chemistry, interpolate the mineral composition in the same way...
