12-14th October 2011 – Combined Short course on GST and 3D Restoration with gOcad at TU Bergakademie, Freiberg, Germany

„The objective of the course was to introduce participants to the theory and training necessary to manage geodata and geomodels with GST and advanced functions of gOcad®.

The course was conducted by TU Bergakademie (TU BAF), Freiberg and ENSG, Nancy. It was attended by 12 participants from 8 different countries, including 9 ProMiners.

The training itself was split into 2 parts: (i) lectures on the data model and a training course on how to use the GST database system developed by TU BAF for 3D geodata and geomodels (1 day and half); (ii) a training course on restoration techniques developed in the gOcad software including Kine3D surface restoration kit and restoration implicit model plug-ins developed by the gOcad research group of Nancy-University (1 day and half).

During the initial stages of the training there were productive discussions and participants shared their experiences in using databases and managing huge amounts of geodata.“
