Paper Title
An Integrative Geological Mapping System for Fossil Distribution of Jeonnam Region in Korea
Abstract
This research was proceeded in the following order: collecting fossil data in Jeollanam-do (hereinafter referred to as
Jeonnam) province in Korea, classifying and organizing materials, and designing the distribution map. Cartographers usually
use the geological map management system and metadata when creating geological maps, but this paper has utilized the results
of previous research collected through retrieval, skipped the process and immediately initiated to cartograph. This study tried
to create a distribution map using Google My Maps and change the value of input color according to the type of fossil. As a
result, the distribution pattern of other fossils in the whole Jeonnam area could be analyzed. The basic platform was initially
planned to be built with GIS (Geographic Information System) integrated with VR (Virtual Reality Technology) to visualize
the above fossil distribution map more vividly in 3D (three-dimensional) way, and this part remains as an ongoing project.
