Application of 3-D Geoscience Modeling Technology for the Estimation of Solid Mineral Reserves

Applying new approaches, methods, and technologies for the estimation of reserves can effectively improve the efficiency and accuracy of assessments of solid mineral resources. After analyzing the development of 3-D geoscience modeling technology （3-D GMT）, this paper discusses the application of 3-D GMT for the estimation of solid mineral reserves, emphatically introducing its workflow and two key technologies, 3-D orebody surface modeling, and property modeling. Moreover, the paper analyzes the limitations of traditional methods, such as the section method and geological block method, and points out the advantages of 3-D GMT： building more accurate 3-D orebody models, expressing the internal inhomogeneous attributes of an orebody, reducing the potential for errors in the estimation of reserves, and implementing dynamic estimations of reserves.

Geoscience model service integrated workflow for rainstorm waterlogging analysis

This paper proposed a geoscience model service integrated workflowbased rainstorm waterlogging analysis method to overcome the defects of conventional waterlogging analysis systems.In this research,we studied a general OGC WPS service invoking strategy,an automatic asynchronous invoking mechanism of WPS services in the BPEL workflow,and a distributed waterlogging analysis services integrated workflow to realize the reconstruction of a waterlogging analysis model based on the proposed method.The proposed method can make use of the flexible adjustment capability of the workflow and not only overcomes the inherent defects of conventional geoscience analysis methods but also realizes the integration and calculation of distributed geospatial data,models and computing resources automatically.The method has better construction convenience,execution reliability,extensibility and intelligence potential than a conventional method and has important value for dealing with more natural disasters and environmental challenges.

Three-Dimensional Geoscience Modeling and Simulation of Gas Explosion in Coal Mine

Gas explosion is one of the most serious events in coal mine. In consideration of the limitation of past research method about gas explosion, three-dimensional(3D) modeling and simulation are suggested. This paper analyzes the research achievements on 3D modeling, and studies the modeling method of strata and laneway based on geoscience modeling. After the 3D modeling of strata and laneways, the simulation of gas explosion(such as gas exploding, color, burning, virtual wandering and rock caving) is performed. The research method is meaningful for safety analysis and safety survey.

Developments of spatial information-based Digital Mine in China

Gave a brief introduction to the origin,concepted and hierarchical structure of Digital Mine.As a huge complex system,Digital Mine took data base and model base to- gether as a mine data management system being its core,and Digital Mine was com- prised of five subsystems including data obtaining system,integral dispatching system, applied engineering system,data processing system,and data management system.Be- ing a digitally 3D visualized representation and a spatial information infrastructure of an actual mine,Digital Mine had three basic features such as data warehouse,information reference and digital platform.The present developments of Digital Mine in mining industry, research and education were also introduced.Examples were shown for present Digital Mine construction in China.The development trends,the key technologies and the recent construction procedures on Digital Mine were presented.

Geoscience knowledge graph in the big data era

Since the beginning of the 21 st century,the geoscience research has been entering a significant transitional period with the establishment of a new knowledge system as the core and with the drive of big data as the means.It is a revolutionary leap in the research of geoscience knowledge discovery from the traditional encyclopedic discipline knowledge system to the computer-understandable and operable knowledge graph.Based on adopting the graph pattern of general knowledge representation,the geoscience knowledge graph expands the unique spatiotemporal features to the Geoscience knowledge,and integrates geoscience knowledge elements,such as map,text,and number,to establish an all-domain geoscience knowledge representation model.A federated,crowd intelligence-based collaborative method of constructing the geoscience knowledge graph is developed here,which realizes the construction of high-quality professional knowledge graph in collaboration with global geo-scientists.We also develop a method for constructing a dynamic knowledge graph of multi-modal geoscience data based on in-depth text analysis,which extracts geoscience knowledge from massive geoscience literature to construct the latest and most complete dynamic geoscience knowledge graph.A comprehensive and systematic geoscience knowledge graph can not only deepen the existing geoscience big data analysis,but also advance the construction of the high-precision geological time scale driven by big data,the compilation of intelligent maps driven by rules and data,and the geoscience knowledge evolution and reasoning analysis,among others.It will further expand the new directions of geoscience research driven by both data and knowledge,break new ground where geoscience,information science,and data science converge,realize the original innovation of the geoscience research and achieve major theoretical breakthroughs in the spatiotemporal big data research.
