DMT'26 Meeting

The Digital Mapping Techniques (DMT) meeting is an annual workshop series organized by the U.S. Geological Survey and state geological surveys. It focuses on collegial interaction to develop efficient and standardized methods for digital geologic mapping, publication, and GIS analysis. The objective is to foster informal discussion, exchange technical information and expertise, and develop more efficient methods for creating, managing, and serving digital geoscience map information. Key topics include cartographic techniques for creating paper and digital-format geologic maps from field notes, manuscript maps, and map databases; information management and delivery (e.g., Web-accessible databases, Web Services); design and implementation of individual and corporate geologic map databases (including the National Geologic Map Database); migration of map data to new formats; preservation of unpublished earth science information; the use of LIDAR or other advanced terrain models for field work and map/database preparation; and 3-D databases and/or visualization techniques.
