The selection is based on the content, getup from the aesthetic point of
view and whether a graduate student can benefit and download software for free. Dominantly
commercial sites are not preferred. You may open these
sites on this very page by clicking Preview or Open Eye image. Three sites are from under Capricorn, one from the Old World, one from Israel and rest five from the New World. To directly
go to ten sites, click 1. Fault induced folds and
structural project in the Andes 2. Learn structure

This order does not in any way reflect on the degree of merit or value
of crown of a crowned site. The crowns were embedded much later after the birth of the original page. Very simply speaking, no one would like to place
Faux Pli at number 10.

Rocks are the pages on which the history of the earth is written. Some pages are like that of a new book, just out of press, smelling sweet of ink and paper. Others are like that of an old one, soiled and yellowed through time and still others are so bad that the pages crumble to pieces on turning and you have to read them by joining like a jigsaw puzzle. This last task is the most challenging one and also the dearest to a geologist since it involves coordination of data from several other fields, more or less like solving a murder mystery, the murder having taken place a good month ago and all trails and evidences are lost, so you have to take recourse to rigorous forensic techniques and data. -Author |

Holcombe Structural Geology Animation Library Welcome The Dynamic Earth : The story of Plate Tectonics : An on line book fro the United States Geological Survey A J Watkinson's homepage (Wash State University) THERMOCALC: thermodynamic calculation software package for tackling mineral equilibria problems. It has two main components: the application itself, and the internally-consistent thermodynamic dataset it uses.
StereoNet
is a user friendly tool to display, change and analyze orientational
data. It displays data in different views: as text, in equal area / equal angle
upper / lower hemisphere projection, etc. using different symbols, colors etc
and also shows great circles, small circles and displacement vectors.
Additionally, StereoNet rotates the data as well as computes some simple
statistical parameter. StereoNet also contours data densities and computes
palaeostress directions from fault-slip data. Included is a little help file,
and an example- dataset. Geocrack: The focus on our work is modeling flow in fractured rocks. Our present application is geothermal reservoirs, where such capability is needed to simulate systems in which re-injection is used to circulate the fluid.

Griffiths Computer Software Structural Geology Metamorphic Petrology GeoStru A STRUCTURAL GEOLOGY PAGE MWSoftware Stereographic Projections StereoNett for Windows, by Johann Duyster. A program for spherical projection of directional datasets. Click here to download your copy or go to the original source at http://homepage.ruhr-uni-bochum.de/Johannes.P.Duyster/stereo/stereo1.htm where you will find updates and extra information. An alternative program is Wintek, which can be downloaded here. For a basic unzip routine, download pkunzip.exe or use any version of winzip. StressMohr
for Windows, by Ulrich Kruse. This program illustrates the use of stress
calculations for two-dimensional systems. The program consists of five displays.
In each display you can vary the physical situation and immediately see the
effects in the graphical displays. The first display illustrates the relation
between forces and stresses acting on a rectangular solid. In the second
display, you explore the stress on a plane as you vary the orientation of the
plane and the state of stress in the system. We illustrate the calculation of
the stress on the plane in terms of a simple matrix multiplication in the third
display. You can also observe the simple geometry of the envelope of the
stresses that are produced as the angle of the plane is varied. The fourth
display shows the behavior of the normal and shear components of the stress on
the plane. When the normal component is plotted along x and the shear component
along y, the envelope will be a circle: called a Mohr circle. This beautiful
result lets you visualize the range of possible stresses on the plane. Finally
in the last display, you can explore the conditions which lead to the fracture
of a sample: you can vary the stresses until the stresses are just strong enough
to cause fracture by watching the changes in size and location of the Mohr
circle.
