Preservation of local high-resolution data in a regional low-resolution dataset: A ‘nested’ 3D modeling approach using an example from a Quaternary glacial stratigraphy (Ontario, Canada)

Regional scale 3D models provide insight into general unit geometries and stratigraphic relationships; however, potentially significant local scale data and unit geometries are rarely preserved. Accurate modeling of local scale unit geometries and stratigraphic relationships is important for understanding aquifer-aquitard connectivity, estimation of aquifer volume, and prediction of contaminant migration pathways; this is particularly important …
