Burlington House, Piccadilly, London
New Dynamics in Paleostress Analysis
The analysis of paleostress is a key objective for tectonic
understanding, with potential applications to the petroleum industry,
the soft and hard rock mining industries, and the mineral exploration
industry. A variety of techniques have been proposed and used over
the last few decades, but today an exciting renaissance in the
subject is occurring. New methods are increasingly capable of dealing
with real fault measurements, which commonly have a complex signal
hidden within considerable noise. Neural networks, fuzzy logic,
clustering and multiple inversion are some of the new techniques that
can be brought to bear on the problem of polyphase and noisy data.
The conference will address these and other new directions in
paleostress, and it will present the cutting edge of research in the
field. It will appeal to structural geologists working in any field
in which fault analysis is important.
Provisionally we have a one-day booking of the Burlington House
facilities though, if there is sufficient interest, we may extend to
two days. With this in mind, it would it would be helpful if you
would record your interest by e-mail ( [log in to unmask] ) telling
us:
1. probability that you will attend (scale 0-100%)
2. probability that you offer a talk (scale 0-100%)
Deadline dates for abstract submission and registration to be
announced soon.
