In 2011, Nguyễn Thanh Danh (The Central University of Construction, Phú Yên province) successfully defended his Master of Science thesis in Geological Engineering with the topic "Application of Geostatistics for Geological Structure Modelling at District 1, Ho Chi Minh City".
MSc.Nguyễn Thanh Danh cooperated with flatGEO Consulting Co., Ltd. to apply geostatistics, especially, Kriging methods to interpolate continuous surfaces of geotechnical units using an open-source software SGeMS (Stanford Geostatistical Modelling Software) to set up a 3D model for geological structures at District 1, Ho Chi Minh city.
This approach could be applied for other districts at Ho Chi Minh city or other provinces.
