GST · Geosciences in Space and Time

The 3D database for the subsurface.

GST stores, versions and streams geological models of any size — and puts them in every browser with the most powerful web visualization for geoscientific models.

Fast.

Open a state-wide model in seconds, not hours.

Levels of detail are built in the database: a coarse model loads first, detail streams in.
On-the-fly tiling delivers exactly the area you request.
Storage engine rewritten for large 3D subsurface repositories.

Reliable.

Your models live in a real database, with history.

Runs on PostgreSQL or Oracle — infrastructure your IT already operates.
Versioning and concurrent editing: many editors, one model.
Open standards (OGC Simple Features) instead of proprietary silos.

Unique.

Seamless models — one model for a whole federal state.

A dedicated geometry type for large, high-resolution models.
Properties stored on every geometry, e.g. permeability or CO₂ storage capacity.
No CAD licence needed to view: GST Web runs in any modern browser.

One platform, separate components

GST components talk to each other over the network using OGC and other open standards, so each one can also be used on its own.
