Geochemical Anomaly and Mineral Prospectivity Mapping in Gis

Documents and explains geochemical anomaly and mineral prospectivity mapping by using a geographic information system (GIS). This book reviews and couples the concepts of mapping geochemical anomalies and mineral prospectivity and spatial data models, management and operations in a GIS. It details methods in which GIS plays an important role.
