Abstract
Instant access to the surface geology is of great use to an earth scientist such that the information can be viewed or printed through a computer. A software package for Indian Geological Information System has been developed at National Geophysical Research Institute (NGRI) on CYBER 180/850-A main frame computer. It can be used in an user friendly interactive session, to get the information on regional Indian geology directly on the workstation screen. Several options are provided to meet the requirements of an earth scientist. With these options one can a) view the geological map of India as a whole, b) view different rock types by choosing a particular geological system, c) select a part of an area by choosing latitude and longitude or a toposheet number etc., In addition to these options, the surface geology can also be viewed along a selected profile. The information on the screen can be printed using a colour copier.
