Geochemistry for ArcGIS extension

Geosoft Inc. has announced the commercial availability of their Geochemistry for ArcGIS extension for ESRI's ArcGIS software. The Geochemistry for ArcGIS extension adds a geochemical workflow to ArcGIS, enabling geoscientists to efficiently conduct their geochemical QA and analysis inside ESRI.

According to the company’s release, using the tools available within Geochemistry for ArcGIS, geoscientists can effectively extract knowledge from their data by examining multivariate relationships, uncovering underlying structures, identifying outliers and anomalies and present results by easily creating informative, visually impactful maps.

Using Geochemistry for ArcGIS, geoscientists are able to:

• Simplify their geochemistry quality control process and maintain data in an ESRI file geodatabase using a data model optimized for geochemical data.
• Select and subset data interactively from maps based on lithology and regions to enhance data display.
• Create advanced geochemical maps within the ESRI ArcGIS Desktop environment.
• Analyze multi-element geochemistry using interactive multiple histogram plots, Pearson’s correlation reports, scatter plots, probability plots, ternary plots and box plots, to identify outliers and define populations.
