Predictive mapping of massive sulphide potential in the western part of the Escambray Terrain, Cuba
@inproceedings{Rojas2003PredictiveMO, title={Predictive mapping of massive sulphide potential in the western part of the Escambray Terrain, Cuba}, author={A. Rojas}, year={2003} }
The lack of a comprehensive massive sulphide potential map is a major factor that holds back investment and development for massive sulphide exploration and mining in the Escambray terrain. To address this problem, new techniques and methods were applied to a complete geo-exploration dataset for predictive mapping of potential of the study area. The deposit recognition criteria were the bases for extraction spatial evidence from the geo-datasets based on the characteristics of massive sulphide…

Developing a geographic expert system for regional mapping of volcanogenic massive sulfide (VMS) deposit potential
- Geology

A personal computer-based geographic information system (GIS) is used to develop a geographic expert system (GES) for mapping and evaluating volcanogenic massive sulfide (VMS) deposit potential, resulting in a map showing the relative favorability for VMS deposits.
The representation of geoscience information for data integration

Three representation methods—probability measures, Dempster-Shafer belief functions, and membership functions in fuzzy sets—and their corresponding estimation procedures are presented here with analyses of the implications and of the assumptions that are required in each approach to thematic mapping.
