摘要
In recent years,with the progress of computer technology,some traditional industries such as geology are facing changes in industrial structure and application mode.So we try to apply big data and virtualization technology in the field of geoscience.This study aims at addressing the existing problems in geological applications,such as data sharing,data processing and computing performance.A Geological Cloud Platform has been designed and realized preliminarily with big data and virtualization technology.The application of the Geological Cloud Platform can be divided into two parts:1)to nest the geological computing model in cloud platform and visualize the results and 2)to use relevant software to conduct data analysis and processing in virtual machines of Windows or Linux system.Finally,we prospect Carlin-type deposits in Nevada by using the spatial data model ArcSDM in the virtual machine.
