Computer graphics and scientific visualization techniques are assuming increasing importance as they allow the representation and manipulation of geologic data exactly as they appear in 3D space. The purpose of this work is using computational tools in order to geometrically model and visualize geologic data. Using the GOCAD program, mid-Early Cretaceus paleobathymetric surfaces have been constructed for the Santos and Campos basins, based on published data. Their additional integration with lithologic and structural data in a unified 3D visualization environment, allowed an increase in the interpretative potential of data originally represented using 2D maps. In order to provide a more general context for the paleogeographic evolution of these basins during the opening of the South Atlantic Ocean, and to represent analogies with current depositional environments, paleobathymetric surfaces have been modelled for the South Atlantic Ocean, from mid- Early Cretaceous to present time, and for the present Red Sea. By using 3D open-source modelling and visualization tools (VTK), a computational program (Tensor3D) has been devoloped to simulate deformation of geologic objects, from rocks, tectonic structures, salt domes to basins. This process is controlled by modifyng simple and pure shear components contained in strain tensors... (Complete abstract, click electronic access below) / Mestre

La construction du réseau de failles d'un domaine géologique à l'aide d'un logiciel de géomodélisation peut être longue et fastidieuse pour des géométries et des contacts de failles complexes et peu marqués sur les données de subsurface. En utilisant une représentation implicite de ces surfaces de faille par des champs de potentiel calculés sur un maillage tétraédrique, le processus de création d'un modèle structural a été totalement automatisé. Les contacts de failles sont détectés et des surfaces avec une géométrie cohérente au niveau des contacts sont construites. Les champs de potentiel permettent la modification du réseau de failles tout en préservant la cohérence géologique du modèle. Une technique développée ici permet également de corriger la géométrie d'un maillage tétraédrique à proximité des failles. Ainsi, de nouvelles informations ou interprétations ou des perturbations représentant les incertitudes sur la position des failles sont intégrées au modèle géologique / One of the first steps when a geological study area is modelled in three-dimensional geomodelling software is to build the fault network. This can be tedious and time-consuming when fault geometry and branching are complex and difficult to locate from sub-surface data. The process of creating a three-dimensional structural model from various data types was entirely automated by using an implicit representation of fault surfaces by level sets computed on a tetrahedral mesh. Fault branching is detected automatically and surfaces with coherent contact geometry are built. Using level sets for fault surfaces also enables easy editing of the fault network while maintaining the geological consistency of the model. A further tetrahedral mesh editing technique was developed during this PhD in order to modify mesh geometry close to faults. New information or interpretations or perturbations which represent geometrical uncertainty on faults can thus be integrated to the geological model

Reproducing the construction of a geoscientific model is a hard task. It requires the availability of all required data and an exact description how the construction was performed. In practice data availability and the exactness of the description is often lacking. As part of this thesis I introduce a conceptual framework how geoscientific model constructions can be described as directed acyclic hypergraphs, how such recorded construction graphs can be used to reconstruct the model, and how repetitive constructions can be used to verify the reproducibility of a geoscientific model construction process. In addition I present a software prototype, implementing these concepts. The prototype is tested with three different case studies, including a geophysical measurement analysis, a subsurface model construction and the calculation of a hydrological balance model.:1.
