Structural geological mapping of the Cenozoic sediments of the Brest region using GIS technologies

Abstract

Cenozoic sediments of the territory of the Brest region is the object of research in this work. The aim of this work is to detail the structure of the Cenozoic stratigraphic deposits by creating a set of structural geological maps. The process of creating maps included several sequential stages implemented using the ArcGIS 10.5 software product. In general, a set of maps for each period of the Cenozoic era was made according to the implemented method. As a result of mapping, the features of the geological structure of the Cenozoic sediments were detailed (based on the use of the most complete materials on the drilling exploration of the territory during the construction). The use of geoinformation systems in the process of building will allow for quick updating of cartographic materials in the future
