Structural Geology

Hi,

This is a collection of Python Jupyter Notebooks for Structural Geology, and especially for my Bachelor course Structural Geology. The material is organized as:

1. Data in the data folder
2. Figures in the figures folder
3. Functions in the functions folder
4. Notebooks in the notebooks folder

The best way to run the notebooks is in VSCode. Note that in VSCode you will need to install the Python and Jupyter extensions. And of course you will need a Python distribution, the base environment of the Anaconda distribution works fine.

The list of notebooks is as follows:

1. Orientation
2. Vectors
3. Vector operations
4. Three points problem
5. Thickness
6. Outcrop trace
7. Rule of Vs
8. Downplunge projection
9. Rotations
10. Lines in the stereonet
11. Planes in the stereonet
12. Small circles in the stereonet
13. A full stereonet
14. Uncertainties
15. Cylindrical best fit
16. Best-fit plane
17. Infinitesimal strain
18. Finite strain
19. Pure shear
20. Simple shear
21. General shear
22. Mohr Circle for finite strain
23. The Fry method
24. Stress
25. Mohr Circle for stress
26. Normal and shear tractions on plane
27. Mohr Circle for stress in 3D
28. Slip tendency
29. The failure envelope
30. Which fault is more likely?
31. Faults and stress magnitudes
32. P and T axes
33. Dip isogons
34. Fault bend folds
35. Fixed axis fault propagation folds
36. Parallel fault propagation folds
37. Trishear fault propagation folds
38. Tectono-sedimentary model
39. Seismic imaging
40. Stress polygon

I will keep adding notebooks. If you have any questions, please contact me at nestor.cardozo@uis.no.
