Webinar Recap: From Borehole Logs to 3D Models With Grapher and Surfer When you’re working with borehole data, you need to create visuals that clearly explain what’s happening beneath the surface. Without that clarity, even strong technical work can be misunderstood or undervalued by stakeholders. That’s [...]
Historical Women in Geosciences: Lessons Modern Scientists Can Learn From these Pioneers The story of geoscience is often told through landmark discoveries, breakthrough maps, and transformative fieldwork. But behind many of those milestones stand historical women in geosciences whose contributions helped shape geology, cartography, seismology, hydrology, [...]
Construction Planning in Europe’s Lowlands: The Critical Role of Floodplain and River Modeling In Europe’s low-lying regions, water is a constant variable shaping daily life, infrastructure, and long-term construction planning. Nowhere is this more evident than in the Netherlands, where large portions of the country sit [...]
Meet the Latest Version of Surfer: Designed for Clarity, Built for Efficiency A new version of Surfer is here, and it’s packed with tools to enhance your 3D models, streamline tasks between platforms, and improve your communication with stakeholders. From clearly showcasing subsurface layers to quickly [...]
What Is a Bar Chart: A Quick-Start Guide to Effective Application & Design Bar charts are one of the most effective tools for scientific communication. In geoscience and engineering workflows—where datasets are diverse, stakeholders vary in technical expertise, and decisions depend on clear interpretation—bar charts offer [...]
Visualizing Boreholes: How to Boost Efficiency and Visual Quality When you're interpreting the subsurface, boreholes are one of your most valuable sources of truth. They help reveal lithology changes, groundwater conditions, contamination pathways, and mineralized zones. But while the data inside a borehole is essential, the [...]
Climate Zones, Luaus, and Creativity: Reflections From Katie’s Trip to Kauai, Hawaii Hawaii is one of those rare places where every turn reveals something extraordinary: lush rainforests, dramatic volcanic landscapes, and beautiful beaches, making it a dream destination for anyone who loves the outdoors. Recently, our [...]
Top Ways 3D Is Innovating Resource Exploration Resource exploration is more complex than ever. You’re working with massive datasets from geophysical surveys and core samples to geochemical analyses and remote sensing imagery. Each dataset offers valuable insights, but visualizing them is no small task. Traditionally, 2D [...]
Data Presentation That Makes an Impact: How to Communicate Insights Clearly In geoscience and engineering, doing great data collection and analysis is only half the job. The other half—and sometimes the harder one—is communicating the insights that actually came from those efforts. No matter how rigorous [...]
Why 3D Visualization Leads to Better Engineering Outcomes Projects in modern engineering often revolve around complex datasets gathered on complicated sites. These datasets must be communicated clearly to ensure safety, cost-savings, and success with everything from geotechnical design to infrastructure development. However, when that information [...]
