INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY APPLIED TO ENGINEERING GEOLOGY

This keynote paper describes the application of Information Technology to various aspects of Engineering Geology, from data requirements, data handling and processing to numerical and GIS modelling and visualization. It is illustrated with a number of practical examples developed in The Netherlands. RESUME: Cet article decrit l'application de technologie de l'information a des aspects d'ingenierie geologique, depuis la demande des donnees, l'arrangement et le traitement des donnees, jusqu'a la modelisation numerique et la modelisation en SIG, ainsi que la presentation des resultats. L'article est illustre a l'aide de quelques exemples pratiques developpes aux Pays Bas.
