Visualizing 2D Geology with QGIS

Diane Fritz, University of Colorado Denver
Have you ever been curious about how the rock formations you see when you’re hiking through a varying landscape look underground? This workshop will give you an introduction to satisfying that curiosity with QGIS! We’ll discuss some basic geologic principles, play with a symbol library made specifically for geologic maps and learn how to make estimated geologic cross sections with the qProf plugin. At the end, we’ll touch on finishing off our cross section in the vector graphics software Inkscape.
In this workshop, we’ll step through a sample location together with provided data, but I’ll give you some resources to find your own data to build a geologic representations of your area of interest.

Hi great thanks for your great presentation.
And I would like to know what version do you use for this workshop. Thank you.

[@chitotiotangco2769]

Very informative. I wish that you completed the cross section and put all the appropriate colors and also the orientation of the other fault line. Anyways, thanks a lot.

[@juanm.bernales8711]

VERY GOOD

Please, how to do citation in the case of using the geological symbols that have been referred to, whether the colors of geological formations or symbols such as faults and geological distortions

[@guilhermesobrinho1329]

Around 1:10:00 I was not able to upload the style into the map. Used random colors instead. Only one alluvium and a few talus "blobs" were colored.

[@redhaengel5663]

same , have you found a solution for that yet?

[@CanisLupusSteparium]

Same here. I got a warning in the 'Log Messages' window.
General: WARNING No styles available on DB
OGR: WARNING Cannot open .../QGISNA2020_GeologyWorkshop/GeologicSymbology/lithclass.qml.()

[@pwarr3n]

Same exact problem happens for me.

[@taniaaviles5533]

Hi, does somebody know how to save in the layer what you select in inkscape? I was doing fine till that part

[@CanisLupusSteparium]

After you are done selecting the features you want to add to your layer, right-click and select 'Move to Layer...'.
Then choose the layer in which you want to save those features.
Check if the changes you just made are correct by turning on/off the layer visibility (Layers panel, eye icon next to the layer name).

I dont get the right dip in the profile, it gives a flat dip and the measured is almost 90

Where is the link to the dropbox page

[@joshturtle8916]

the link to that website is broken is there another location i can get the links?

[@dianefritz5174]

Which website?

[@joshturtle8916]

@@dianefritz5174 well i guess its not a link, but github.com. the website wont give me access to your information, unless its because i dont have an account. either way i would like to learn how to do geological mapping on QGIS, and i would appreciate any assistance you could give.

[@dianefritz5174]

@@joshturtle8916 Interesting. It IS a public repo, so if you copy and paste this link, it should work, even if you don't have a github account: github.com/frizatch/2DGeology_in_QGIS (I can see it when I'm not signed in)
