Abstract

The construction of reliable, detailed digital geological map, which with geological profiles, is the primary basis for planning detailed structural, geophysical, gas-geochemical, hydrogeological and other research, prospecting and reconnaissance works, cannot be qualitatively performed without the use of existing maps, data of various types of geological mapping obtained during recent field research using modern geoinformation technologies, specialized software for complex analysis of geodata, applications for smartphones, tablets for recording and supplementing databases in the field, as well as downloading available map data from online resources. The purpose and novelty of the article is the demonstration of the features of the construction of a modern geological map by the complex application of traditional and digital geological mapping (CGK) with the use of data collection by applications for smartphones, tablets, online resources with the ability to download available cartographic data and other means that speed up the process of creating a modern dynamic and interactive map, show the peculiarities of digital and traditional mapping for the territory with difficult accessibility to research objects, as well as lack of access to basic online maps during field research. The article demonstrates methods of creating a complex dynamic digital map for solving current problems in geology and earth sciences (using the example of the studied areas of Carpathians foredeep, Ukrainian Carpathians, Transcarpathian), as a basis for mapping geological mapping data, data of various types of field research (structural, gas-geochemical, hydrogeological, etc.) and ready-made data that can be downloaded from online resources. A digital comprehensive geological map, together with a topographic base, as well as geodata on structure, lithology, stratigraphy, geochemical composition and other data, especially for regions with a complex geological structure and accessibility to research objects (Ukrainian Carpathians, Transcarpathian), is the basis for the analysis and interpretation of the deep structure, construction of reliable and clarification of the existing deep geological profiles, clarification of the 3D model of the deep structure.
