Resource Abstract:
- description: The Washington DC Area geologic map database (DCDB) provides geologic map information of areas to the NW, W,
and SW of Washington, DC to various professionals and private citizens who have uses for geologic data. Digital, geographically
referenced, geologic data is more versatile than traditional hard copy maps, and facilitates the examination of relationships
between numerous aspects of the geology and other types of data such as: land-use data, vegetation characteristics, surface
water flow and chemistry, and various types of remotely sensed images. The DCDB was created by combining Arc/Info coverages,
designing a Microsoft (MS) Access database, and populating this database. Proposed improvements to the DCDB include the addition
of more geochemical, structural, and hydrologic data.; abstract: The Washington DC Area geologic map database (DCDB) provides
