In progress
Desktop application with integrated UI design and token-based authentication that works offline on Windows, Mac and Linux.
Restoration and forward modelling of listric normal faults which can include the deposition of growth strata and the effects of erosion.
Completed
Creation and editing of lines with the option to assign them to horizons, faults, or custom groups based on tectonic history, interpretation version, etc.
Resize images vertically, horizontally or both directions with flexible and user-friendly scaling options. Deform supports a variety of popular image formats including JPEG, PNG, BMP and HEIC.
The module includes short-line searches and connectivity analysis for faults, horizons, and unconformities, as well as the ability to correct errors automatically using the tidy tool. Hence, it is possible to identify and fix potential line errors by trimming and extending objects.
It is the fastest way to build length-balanced cross-sections. The module allows to indicate flexural slip, measure bed lengths and straighten them to produce restored sections on stratigraphic frame without endless routine actions.
Restoration and hanging wall deformation by vertical and oblique simple shear. The hanging wall deformation is only applicable to straight normal faults in this realise.
ASCII data is used when integrating with various seismic and geological interpretation software.
In discussion
Fault geometry prediction (Verall, 1981, White et al., 1986) and constructing horizons using the dip-isogon method (Ramsay, 1967).
Restoration and forward modelling of fault ramps by fault-parallel shear (Egan et al., 1997, Ziesch et al., 2014).
Forward numerical modelling approach for fault-bend folding based on a velocity description of deformation (Connors et al., 2021)
