history of the sample or exposure. Then, by examining other samples
and exposures in and around a site, they can start to develop a picture
of how the various different components relate to one another.
The conceptual model for the geology at a site can be used to extra-
polate and interpolate observations to make further predictions on the
basis of geological knowledge. Ground investigation can then be
designed and used to target residual unknowns.
