Digital Coal Geological Map
Abstract
From 1974 to 1994, the Korea Institute of Geoscience and Mineral Resources (KIGAM) systematically prepared and published relatively precise coal cell geology maps of 1:10,000 or 1:25,000 scale for major coal fields across the country. Such a coal cell geology map includes information about the coal seams as well as the geology of the coal field area, so it can be used as an important basic data for coal development. In this paper, the current state of the coal geology map, which was digitized into a spatial DB using GIS, was introduced. This digital coal geological map can be downloaded free of charge from the Geo-Big Data Open Platform (data.kigam.re.kr) and the Environmental Big Data Platform (www.bigdata-environment.kr).
