Depth-to-surface maps can be derived from isopach (thickness) data, and are useful for visualising regional structural trends. This blog demonstrates how to use mathematic functions in ArcGIS to create a grid representing the depth to a stratigraphic surface in the Viking Graben area of the UKCS (see previous blog for data and area). Method Calculating…
