Microcomputer techniques and applications Microcomputer software for structural geologists

Year: 1991

Type: article

Abstract: Many microcomputer programs allow efficient storage, manipulation and analysis of structural data. These programs can facilitate traditional analyses by accelerating time-consuming graphical and numerical methods as well as allowing new quantitative analytical procedures that would be either impossible or impractical without an easily accessible computer. Excellent programs exist that store and manage structural data, display and analyse orientations, analyse strain in brittle and ductile rocks, and model folded and faulted strata. The essential characteristics of the best of these programs are reviewed and guidelines for software selection suggested.
