Abstract
A computer implemented-method of creating subsurface models, including, for example, the steps of: selecting a region of the world to be modeled; providing geophysical and geographical data corresponding to the selected region; providing an archive of known geological structures; and providing an interface which permits a user to create a subsurface model of the identified region. The invention further involves related computer-implemented methods for interactive creation of geological subsurface models, for managing geological hypotheses, and for providing information for creation of geological models.
