We present a discussion of the state-of-the-art on the use of discrete fracture networks
(DFNs) for modelling geometrical characteristics, geomechanical evolution and …

Abstract The Mt. Vettore area is located in the Central Apennines (Italy), a region
characterized by intense seismic activity that has recorded multiple moderate-to-high …

Despite the fact that earthquake occurrence can be strongly influenced by the architecture of
pre‐existing faults, it remains challenging to obtain information about the detailed …

The spatial orientation of linear and planar structures in geological fieldwork is still obtained
using simple hand-held instruments such as a compass and clinometer. Despite their ease …

An open-source MATLAB application (app) named Discontinuity Intensity Calculator and
Estimator (DICE) was developed in order to quantitatively characterize the fractures, or in …

A digital outcrop example and associated structural analysis of highly deformed sedimentary
strata from the Zagros Belt of Iran is presented. By providing this site in open-access …

Mountain building in the Al-Hajar Mountains (NE Oman) occurred during two major
shortening stages, related to the convergence between Africa–Arabia and Eurasia …

Virtual outcrop modeling has emerged as a tool for supporting geological field activities such
as geological mapping and stratigraphic investigations. Here we show how this technique …

Measurement of structure orientations is a key part of structural geology. Digital outcrop
methods provide a unique opportunity to collect such measurements in unprecedented …

A 3D model of a plunging meso‐scale chevron fold affecting Mesozoic limestone has been
generated, scaled and oriented applying a photogrammetrically based workflow. Bedding …
