Improving of Geological Data Processing with the Use of Surfer Program on the Example of Geochemical Simulation Map

Purpose of research.   The process of controlling and decision making in any area is directly connected with the ability to process a large amount of data quickly and accuracy of the obtained formation.

Modeling of different objects or processes as a result of data processing becomes more difficult for users with the high level of modern computer technologies development. And the ability to visualize the results can give more visible information to the decision-maker. The use of Surfer program for geological data processing is described in the article. This application is suitable for processing a large amount of data, surface analysis, landscape visualization, and mapping. Examples of specific tasks solution with the help of Surfer program are described.

Methods. Theoretical basis of the study is a set of scientific provisions of native scientists in the field of geological modeling. Practical methods of analysis are based on an experiment of contour geological map creation of nickel distribution, empirical (geochemical data processing), statistical (accumulation of obtained data and their processing with Surfer program) analysis.

Results. The process of geological data processing using Surfer program are discussed in the article. A contour geological map of nickel distribution was developed.

Conclusion. The paper proposed the possibility of using Surfer program for geological data. The use of this task-solving application in student training will help future geologists in necessary practical skills acquiring for geological data processing, reducing task-solving time, acquiring the ability to evaluate the results of development in projects and improving the level of information technology and professional competence.
