Summary
This Data Release is comprised of datasets used for the development of a hydrogeologic visualization model for western Sarpy County. Additional documentation on model development can be found in the associated Scientific Investigations Report. In 2016, the Papillion-Missouri River Natural Resources District (PMRNRD) contracted airborne electromagnetic surveys (AEM) of the area to be completed to better understand the stratigraphy and hydrogeology of the western Sarpy County area. The PMRNRD determined that they wanted to incorporate the AEM data into a visualization tool that would allow PMRNRD staff to easily interact with the AEM data and integrate it with other hydrogeologic and groundwater-quality data. The completed Geoscene3D [...]
Summary

In 2016, the Papillion-Missouri River Natural Resources District (PMRNRD) contracted airborne electromagnetic surveys (AEM) of the area to be completed to better understand the stratigraphy and hydrogeology of the western Sarpy County area. The PMRNRD determined that they wanted to incorporate the AEM data into a visualization tool that would allow PMRNRD staff to easily interact with the AEM data and integrate it with other hydrogeologic and groundwater-quality data. The completed Geoscene3D project was assembled to allow Papio-Missouri River Natural Resources District managers to visualize the groundwater systems and associated water-quality results in Sarpy County and enable them to make more informed groundwater resource-planning decisions in the future.

Purpose
These datasets were created for input into a 3-D visualization program which combines airborne electromagnetic geophysical data along with supporting information for visualization and geological modeling. Contour files were created to provide the associated files in a format that could be easily viewed with geospatial information system (GIS) software.
